Medicare accepted drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs accept this kind of health insurance that's provided exclusively to older Americans and people with certain disabilities and long-term diseases. There are different types of Medicare, and the sort of rehabilitation that's covered within a Medicare accepted drug treatment center is dependent upon which kind of Medicare an individual is covered under. As an example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug rehabilitation centers in the event the treatment client needs hospitalization to deal with their drug abuse problem. Individuals covered by Medicare Part A will be responsible for the normal cost they would have to pay for any other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted facility, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the person will need to pay for on their own or through another type of supplemental insurance. Those who need rehab for substance abuse can't use their Medicare health insurance at just any program, and they will need to locate a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their rehab. Medicare provides a summary of Medicare accepted providers to make the job of locating a Medicare accepted program a little bit easier.
