Outpatient

Outpatient services are on the lower end of the spectrum of rehabilitation solutions in terms of level of care, because the individual is able to keep their lifestyle in many ways without the commitment of having to be in a rehab facility while receiving rehab services. Even if this may appear ideal it may not provide the required change of surroundings than many individuals in recovery have to have to experience a successful rehab.

Self Payment

Self Payment is needed when a person's insurance isn't going to cover the total cost of rehab or will only pay for some of it. In these instances, it may seem like a drawback but people actually have a great deal of leverage because they can decide on whichever program they want without the restrictions from health insurance providers that so many men and women encounter. In addition, treatment facilities will often offer payment assistance for individuals whose only option is self payment to enable them to get into rehabilitation.

Medicaid

Certain rehab programs accept Medicaid in the event the individual is not able to self pay or present another form of private health insurance. Medicaid may possibly cover outpatient and short-term treatment inside a limited amount of centers, and in this case individuals might want to investigate the self pay alternative and drum up any resources they are able to to cover a more quality rehab program that will get better results, like a long-term residential alcohol and drug rehab facility.

Medicare

Medicare recipients can seek rehabilitation at drug and alcohol rehab centers which deliver either inpatient or outpatient rehabilitation when the program is included in the network of Medicare-participating providers and with the authorization of their Medicare appointed doctor, who must help out with setting up the individual's treatment strategy. Inpatient services are covered through Medicare Part A, with up front costs being the same as 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 costs of alcohol and drug treatment if other kinds of insurance or self payment are not a choice. When someone doesn't have any private insurance and doesn't yet know whether they may be eligible for state insurance, they should seek advice from their Social Services office within their area to ascertain if they are and then fill out an application. The majority of state financed insurance will cover both outpatient and inpatient treatment, but usually only within the state which offers the insurance.

Private Health Insurance

Depending on which program you are covered by, all private medical health insurance plans typically cover some type of drug and alcohol rehab service including outpatient rehab to inpatient or residential drug rehab centers. Individuals could have to take part in a drug treatment facility that's within their network of providers and there might be other restrictions such as the length of time their stay in treatment is covered. Individuals can select an excellent facility they prefer and consult with a rehab specialist to ascertain if their insurance will take care of it.

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

Military insurance which includes VA and Tricare does cover the expense of certain substance abuse treatment solutions. Detox services, outpatient and inpatient centers as well as partial hospitalization are covered by military insurance, although military members may need pre-authorization and in that case they can speak with their VA or Tricare consultant. There can be some restrictions about just how long a stay in inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation is permitted, and all of these questions can be answered before you begin treatment so that it's clear the length of time and individual can stay in the rehabilitation center of preference.

Sliding Fee Scale

A sliding fee scale is a payment assistance possibility available from many different drug rehab programs in order to help clients pay for treatment where this may not have been doable originally. As an example, one client's fee for treatment could be different and lower than someone else whose finances are better which makes them better able to pay for the full expense of treatment. Registrars take into consideration additional factors apart from income including amount of dependents to ascertain the ultimate cost using the sliding scale.

Payment Assistance (Check With Facility For Details)

Many alcohol and drug rehab programs offer payment assistance to help individuals who might possibly not have sufficient resources to self pay for treatment or whose medical insurance won't supply coverage or total coverage for his or her stay. By way of example, Sometimes insurance only pays for a short-term program when in fact a long-term facility is going to be the more suitable selection. To find out what payment assistance may be offered, for instance a sliding fee scale, talk with the program for details.
