Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it. In these instances, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals actually have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many individuals face. Likewise, treatment centers will often provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab centers accept Medicaid when the individual is unable to self pay or present some other type of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehab inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may wish to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation center which will get better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help out with establishing the individual's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being similar to any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

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 forms of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should consult their Social Services office in their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of alcohol and drug rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center which is in their network of providers and there may be other limitations for example just how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent center they prefer and meet with a rehabilitation specialist to find out if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance including VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain drug abuse rehab solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient facilities in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative.
