Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when someone's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only cover some of it.

Medicaid

Some rehab programs will take Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present any other form of private medical health insurance. Medicaid may possibly pay for outpatient and short-term rehabilitation within a limited amount of facilities, and in this case individuals may want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they're able to to fund a more quality rehab facility that will get better results, such as a long-term residential drug rehabilitation facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can receive rehab at drug rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient treatment if the center is in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must aid in establishing the individual's treatment plan. Inpatient services are provided through Medicare Part A, with out of pocket costs being just like any other type of hospital stay, and outpatient rehab being covered 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 treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a possibility. If someone has no private insurance and doesn't yet know if they could qualify for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office in their area to ascertain if they are and then apply. Most state financed insurance will take care of both outpatient and inpatient rehab, but usually only in the state which provides the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private health care insurance plans generally cover some sort of drug treatment service including outpatient treatment to inpatient or residential drug rehab facilities. Individuals may have to take part in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that is in their network of providers and there can be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in rehab is covered. Individuals can pick a quality center they like and meet with a treatment counselor to determine if their insurance will handle it.

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

Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers 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.
