Insurance Types
There are two types of insurance: private and public. Private policies are bought by you or your employer in small groups for discounted prices. You are responsible for all or some of the financial costs that come with the policies. These private policies can cover rehab treatment to varying degrees depending on whether you are in-network or not. Public policies are government-funded plans. In these, the government pays for all or some of your rehab treatment, but only if you meet certain conditions.
For example, Medicare, Medicaid, and the Affordable Care Act are three well known government-funded, public policies, but where you live may determine how much of rehab’s cost they cover. How much you would pay out-of-pocket is completely dependent on your policy, so we recommend talking to your provider about coverage details before moving forward.
