Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it.

When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office within their area to determine if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but generally only within the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance
