Outpatient

Medicaid may only cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation in a limited amount of facilities, and in this instance individuals may wish to investigate the self pay option and come up with up any resources they're able to to cover a more quality treatment program which will get better results, say for example a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab center.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid can be used to cover the expense of alcohol and drug rehabilitation if other forms of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehabilitation, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance plan.

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 treatment service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals could possibly have to participate in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that's in their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as how long their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can pick a good program they prefer and meet with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance will cover it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the price of certain substance abuse treatment services. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers and also 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 might be some limitations as to how long a stay in inpatient drug rehabilitation is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting treatment so that it's clear how long and individual can stay in the treatment program of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by numerous drug rehabilitation programs to help help clients pay for rehabilitation where this might not have been doable originally. For example, one client's fee for treatment might be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full expense of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional factors aside from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehab facilities provide payment assistance to help individuals who may not have enough money to self pay for rehabilitation or whose medical insurance won't provide coverage or full coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term facility when in actuality a long-term center will be the more ideal selection.
