Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to pay for the entire cost of treatment or will only cover some of it. In these cases, it may appear like a disadvantage but individuals really have a great deal of leverage due to the fact they can choose whichever facility they want without the limitations from health insurance companies that so many individuals face.

Medicaid

Certain treatment facilities accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other type of private health care insurance.

Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being exactly like any other kind of hospital stay, and outpatient rehabilitation being covered through Medicare Medicare Part B.

Private Health Insurance

Individuals could have to participate in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that's inside their network of providers and there might be other limitations like how long their stay in rehabilitation is covered. Individuals can pick an excellent program they prefer and consult with a treatment counselor to ascertain if their insurance will cover it.

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient facilities along with partial hospitalization are paid for by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can liaise with their VA or Tricare consultant.
