Cash or Self-Payment - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Mercer, TN.

When someone's health insurance won't cover the cost of drug or alcohol rehab, they have no choice but to find a way to cover treatment through cash or self-payment. Some drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs in Mercer provide free rehabilitation, whereas these programs are most commonly state funded or affiliated with a church or similar social-betterment organization. If services aren't free in such an institution, it is usually severely discounted.

If self-payment is an option, many facilities and programs accept cash as well as debit cards and credit cards. Some families prefer making a cash payment because it provides more anonymity and privacy. Most facilities and rehab programs will not accept checks as a form of self-payment.

When someone receives treatment on an urgent basis in an emergency room setting, and they don't have health insurance, it is typical for the person to be billed and required to pay at a later date. In many cases, these bills can be reduced through state run programs if the individual meets certain requirements regarding income and other circumstances.

Another advantage of self-pay and cash for individuals who have the upfront money or other resources available to cover the cost of treatment, is the vast selection of options to choose from including successful long-term residential rehabilitation facilities and private and luxury rehab options.
