Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these situations, it may seem like a drawback but people in fact have a much more leverage because they can decide on whichever center they would like without the restrictions from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. In addition, rehab facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehabilitation programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present some other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid might pay for outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of facilities, and in such cases individuals may wish to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they are able to to fund a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, such as a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility.

State Financed Insurance (Other Than Medicaid)

State financed insurance other than Medicaid may be used to cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't an option. If someone does not have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they may qualify for state insurance, they can consult their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will handle both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but typically only in 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 alcohol and drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehabilitation to inpatient or residential drug rehabilitation programs. Individuals might have to take part in an alcohol and drug treatment facility that's inside their network of providers and there may be other restrictions like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can choose an excellent program they prefer and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance will take care of it.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance option made available from numerous drug and alcohol treatment programs in order to help individuals afford treatment where this might not have been possible initially. As an example, one client's price for rehabilitation could be different and less than another person whose finances are better which makes them better able to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars consider additional circumstances apart from income including number of dependents to determine the final cost and using the sliding scale.
