Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the entire cost of rehabilitation or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a disadvantage but individuals in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can decide on whichever facility they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many people encounter. Likewise, rehab programs will usually offer payment assistance for people whose only option is self payment to help them get into treatment.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may only pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in cases like this individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality rehabilitation facility that will get better results, say for example a long-term residential drug rehab program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug treatment programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's rehabilitation strategy. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being paid for through Medicare Part B.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the expense of drug and alcohol rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office within their area to figure out if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance covers both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only in the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug and alcohol rehabilitation service ranging from outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation facilities. Individuals may have to take part in a drug rehabilitation facility that's in their network of providers and there could be other limitations for example the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a quality facility they like and consult with a rehab specialist to find out if their insurance will handle it.
