Drug Treatment Help Request

Self Payment

Self Payment is necessary when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for part of it. In these instances, it may appear like a drawback but people in fact have a great deal of leverage simply because they can select whichever center they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many individuals encounter. Likewise, treatment programs will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only choice is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some treatment facilities accept Medicaid when the individual cannot self pay or present any other form of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of programs, and in this instance individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to fund a more quality rehab center which will produce better results, like a long-term residential drug and alcohol rehab center.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive treatment at drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment when the facility is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the approval of their Medicare appointed physician, who must assist in establishing the person's treatment plan. Inpatient solutions are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with up front costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered through Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which plan you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans generally cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service ranging from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation program that is in their network of providers and there might be other limitations for example the amount of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can choose a good facility they like and speak with a rehab counselor to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance such as VA and Tricare does cover the expenses of particular drug abuse treatment solutions. Detoxification services, outpatient and inpatient centers in addition to partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may require pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There could be some limitations regarding the length of time a stay in inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation is permitted, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear how much time and individual can stay in the rehab program of preference.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs provide payment assistance to help individuals who might not have sufficient resources to self pay for rehab or whose health insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only covers a short-term center when in fact a long-term center will be the more suitable choice. To determine what payment assistance can be available, such as a sliding fee scale, consult the center for details.
