Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when someone's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a much more leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they want without the restrictions from health insurance companies that so many people face. In addition, rehab centers will frequently provide payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of programs, and in this case individuals may choose to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab program which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug rehab facility.

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If a person doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug rehab service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment programs. Individuals may have to take part in a drug treatment facility which is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations like the amount of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and speak with a rehabilitation specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular substance abuse rehabilitation services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization in which case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions as to the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehabilitation so that it is clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug and alcohol rehab programs in order to help individuals pay for treatment where this might not have been possible originally. As an example, one client's price for treatment could possibly be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full cost of rehab. Registrars take into consideration variables aside from income including amount of dependents to determine the final cost using the sliding scale.
