For patients who have made the important decision to enter rehab, sometimes evaluating payment options can be a challenge. There are a number of different healthcare plans available in Alaska through Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alaska, and those who know they will need coverage for substance abuse treatment should carefully evaluate their options to find the best choice.
It is important to note that the different plans listed will all have different deductible amounts and different monthly payments. These numbers can change depending upon the number of people being covered and a variety of factors related to each person. Patients should consider these charges as well when they research the different types of insurance available. Certain types of plans will also require the patient to carry coinsurance.
