Frequently Asked Questions
When do I Need to Pay for Rehab?
When you pay for rehab will depend on a variety of factors, including how you pay for rehab, how long you will be going to rehab, and more. If you are paying for rehab out-of-pocket, or as a “private pay” patient, your rehabilitation center will likely set up a payment plan with you that fits your needs. If you are using private health insurance to pay for rehab, you may only have to pay for rehab if you still owe a copay or deductible, or after your rehab bills your insurance company.
Can I Go to Rehab with No Insurance?
Yes, you can attend rehab with no private health insurance. There are plenty of options for those needing rehab who do not have insurance, including cash or self-payment, Medicaid, and more. In 2019, the mostly commonly accepted payment types at rehabilitation centers were cash or self-payment (90 percent), private health insurance (73 percent), and Medicaid (68 percent). Some treatment centers also reported accepting state-financed health insurance plan other than Medicaid (49 percent), federal military insurance (38 percent), Medicare (37 percent), and IHS/Tribal/Urban funds (12 percent).

Can I Use Retirement Account Withdrawals to Cover Rehab?

You can borrow up to $50,000 you’re your 401(k) or other workplace retirement plan, or half the balance in your account (whichever is less). However, this will eventually entail gradual repayment with interest into your own account.

The average length of stay is about 30 days or more.

What are Qualifying Life Events for Health Insurance?
Certain changes in your life situation, known as qualifying life events—such as the loss of health coverage, a change in your household, or a change in residence—give you the opportunity to sign up for a new health insurance plan or make changes to an existing plan. Examples of qualifying life events include:
  • Losing existing job-based, individual, or student health coverage.
  • Losing Medicare, Medicaid, or Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) eligibility.
  • Turning 26 years old and losing health coverage under your parent's insurance plan.
  • Getting married or divorced.
  • Having a baby or adopting a child.
  • A death in the family.
  • Moving to a different zip code or county that changes your health plan area.
  • Moving to or from a place to attend school.
  • Moving to or from a place you live and work as a seasonal worker.
  • Moving to or from a shelter or other transitional housing.
  • Income changes that impact your available options.

  • Becoming a U.S. citizen.
  • Leaving jail, prison, or other incarcerated setting.
  • Starting or ending service as an AmeriCorps member.
Since every situation is different, you may have to present documentation to show how the life event impacts your health insurance coverage.
