Drug Treatment Help Request

Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehab services in terms of intensity of care, as the individual can preserve their lifestyle in lots of ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab center while undergoing rehab services. Even if this might seem perfect it might not provide the much needed change of environment than lots of people in rehab need to have a productive rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is required when someone's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover part of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but people in fact have a great deal of leverage because they can select whichever program they would like without the limitations from health insurers that so many people encounter. In addition, rehabilitation centers will frequently provide payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Some rehabilitation programs will take Medicaid if the individual cannot self pay or present any other type of private medical insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals may want to explore the self pay option and drum up any resources they can to pay for a more quality treatment facility which will produce better results, say for example a long-term residential drug and alcohol treatment program.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehab at alcohol and drug rehab facilities which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the consent of their Medicare appointed physician, who must help in establishing the person's rehab plan. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just 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 rehab if other forms of insurance or self payment aren't a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know if they might be eligible for state insurance, they should check with their Social Services office in their area to determine if they are and then fill out an application. Most state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but generally only inside the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health insurance plans typically cover some sort of drug rehabilitation service which range from outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential alcohol and drug treatment centers. Individuals may have to take part in a drug and alcohol rehab program that is inside their network of providers and there could be other limitations such as the length of time their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent facility they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to determine if their insurance covers it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the price of particular drug abuse treatment services. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient programs and also partial hospitalization are all covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization in which case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some limitations as to how much time a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol treatment is allowed, and every one of these questions can be answered before beginning rehab so that it is clear just how long and individual can remain in the rehab center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale can be a payment assistance possibility offered by many different drug and alcohol treatment programs in order to help individuals pay for treatment where this may not have been doable originally. By way of example, one client's price for rehab could possibly be different and someone else whose financial situation is better making them better able to spend the money for full price of rehabilitation. Registrars take into consideration other factors apart from income including number of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost and using the sliding scale.
