Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance won't pay for the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage due to the fact they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many men and women encounter. In addition, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to help them get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some treatment programs accept Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present another form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term treatment in a limited amount of programs, and in cases like this individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and come up with up any resources they can to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will produce better results, such as a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which provide either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is 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. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient treatment being paid for through 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 kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a possibility. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they could qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals might have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehab center which is inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including just how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can choose a good program they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of particular drug abuse rehabilitation services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers along with partial hospitalization are all paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some restrictions concerning how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear the length of time and individual can remain in the rehabilitation center of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility made available from a variety of alcohol and drug treatment centers in order to help clients afford rehab where this might not have been possible initially. For example, one client's price for rehab could be different and less than somebody else whose financial situation is better making them better able to pay the full price of treatment. Registrars consider additional circumstances aside from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug rehabilitation programs provide payment assistance to help clients who may possibly not have enough funds to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for their stay. For example, Occasionally insurance only covers a short-term center when in actuality a long-term center will probably be the more suitable selection.
