Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance won't cover the total cost of rehabilitation or will only pay for some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can decide on whichever center they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many individuals encounter.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private health insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may wish to explore the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment center that will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug rehab programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the facility is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must assist in establishing the individual's rehabilitation plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug rehabilitation if other kinds of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. If someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might qualify for state insurance, they can check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only within the state which offers the insurance plan.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some kind of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug rehab facilities. Individuals could have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program which is within their network of providers and there may be other restrictions including the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can select a quality facility they like and consult with a rehabilitation counselor to ascertain if their insurance will handle it.

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare representative.
