As patients begin planning for rehab, one of the first questions they have is how to pay for it. Fortunately, rehab is typically covered by insurance. That’s especially true in the United States, which means that addiction treatment is available to virtually everyone. If you’re not sure how to get started, take a closer look at rehab insurance coverage options.
Before you can submit a claim to your health insurance provider, you might need to pay a deductible. This is essentially a predetermined cost that comes out of pocket before your health insurance policy will cover remaining costs. Not all health insurance policies include deductibles, but many do.
It is essential to take a look at your individual policy and look for a deductible. Sometimes, the deductible could be a few hundred dollars. In other cases, it could be thousands. Make sure you know what to expect so you’re not surprised when you take the next step toward rehab and ongoing treatment.
Figuring out insurance coverage and how to pay for rehab can be overwhelming. Even if it seems complicated, financing should never stand in the way of your recovery. Fortunately, this isn’t something you need to work out on your own.
