Outpatient

Outpatient solutions are on the bottom end of the spectrum of rehabilitation services with regards to level of care, since the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways with no commitment of needing to stay in a rehabilitation facility while receiving rehabilitation services. Although this may appear perfect it might not provide the much needed change of surroundings than a lot of people in recovery require to experience a productive rehabilitation.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but people really have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever center they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face. In addition, rehabilitation centers will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities will take Medicaid when the individual is not able to self pay or present some other kind of private health care insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment program that will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab program.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

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

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehab center which is in their network of providers and there could be other restrictions for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Military Insurance (E.G., Va, Tricare)

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare representative. There could be some limitations concerning how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and all of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear just how long and individual can stay in the rehabilitation program of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option available from many different drug and alcohol rehab facilities in order to help individuals pay for rehab where this may not have been possible originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehabilitation could be different and less than another person whose finances are better making them better able to pay the full cost of rehab. Registrars consider additional circumstances aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug treatment centers offer payment assistance to help clients who might not have sufficient resources to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in reality a long-term program will likely be the more appropriate choice. To see what payment assistance can be available, for instance a sliding fee scale, seek advice from the program for particulars.
