What this calculator estimates
Estimate residential or outpatient addiction-treatment cost after coverage and assistance.
How to use it
Enter Program cost per treatment day ($); Treatment days; Assessment, medication and aftercare costs ($); Insurance or assistance payment ($); Provider discount or assistance (%). Select Calculate to update the results.
How the calculation works
The unit cost is multiplied by treatment count, additional costs are added, and entered coverage or discounts are subtracted.
Worked example: starting scenario
| Program cost per treatment day ($) | 650 |
|---|---|
| Treatment days | 30 |
| Assessment, medication and aftercare costs ($) | 4500 |
| Insurance or assistance payment ($) | 12000 |
| Provider discount or assistance (%) | 0 |
| Estimated out-of-pocket cost | $12,000.00 |
|---|---|
| Gross treatment cost | $24,000.00 |
| Coverage and assistance applied | $12,000.00 |
| Average cost per treatment unit | $400.00 |
Important limitations
Provider pricing, medical need, insurance contracts and treatment course can change actual cost.
Avoid overlapping program charges
Use the daily program rate only for the days actually being compared. Put assessment, medication and aftercare charges in the extra-cost field only when they are absent from that rate. The entered discount reduces the modeled bill before the entered insurance or assistance payment is subtracted; neither input establishes coverage.
