Self Payment

Self Payment is required when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a drawback but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many men and women encounter.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs will take Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug treatment center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at drug and alcohol rehab facilities which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehab if the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must aid in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If a person does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they can talk with their Social Services office in 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 treatment, but generally only in the state which provides the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some form of drug treatment service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab centers.

Individuals can select an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse rehabilitation solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient programs along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There may be some limitations concerning just how long a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehab center of choice.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehab facilities offer payment assistance to help individuals who might not have adequate resources to self pay for rehab or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or total coverage for their stay. For example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term facility when in fact a long-term program is going to be the more appropriate choice.
