Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions regarding intensity of care, for the reason that individual is able to maintain their lifestyle in several ways without the commitment of needing to stay in a rehab center while receiving rehab services. Even though this might seem perfect it will not provide the required change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery require to have a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a much more leverage simply because they can choose whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, rehabilitation centers will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid if the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health care insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to investigate the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation if the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with setting up the person's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient solutions are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they might qualify for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some form of drug rehab service which range from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab program which is within their network of providers and there could be other restrictions such as just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they like and meet with a treatment specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility available from a number of drug rehabilitation facilities to help help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been doable initially. As an example, one client's price for treatment might be different and someone else whose finances are better making them better able to pay for the full price of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
