Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these situations, it may appear like a drawback but individuals actually have a much more leverage because they can choose whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. Likewise, treatment facilities will frequently offer payment assistance for people whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehab.

Medicaid

Some rehab facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual cannot self pay or present another type of private medical insurance. Medicaid might cover outpatient and short-term rehab in a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may choose to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will get better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek treatment at drug treatment centers which provide either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in setting up the individual's treatment strategy.

Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but typically only in the state which provides the insurance coverage.

Private Health Insurance

Individuals can pick an excellent facility they like and speak with a rehabilitation counselor to find out if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of certain drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities and also 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 representative. There could be some restrictions regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehab is allowed, and every one of these questions will be answered prior to starting rehabilitation so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehab facility of choice.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from a variety of drug and alcohol rehab facilities to help help clients afford rehab where this might not have been doable originally.

Registrars consider variables in addition to income including number of dependents to determine the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)
