Medicare accepted drug and alcohol treatment facilities accept this kind of health care insurance that's provided solely to older Americans as well as people with certain disabilities and chronic illnesses. There are a few different types of Medicare, and the kind of rehab that's covered in a Medicare accepted drug and alcohol rehab facility depends on the kind of Medicare a person is covered under. By way of example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug treatment programs in the event the rehabilitation client requires hospitalization to address their drug or alcohol use issue. Individuals who have Medicare Part A will need to cover the normal cost they'd be required to pay for any other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted facility, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the individual will need to pay for on their own or through some other form of supplemental insurance. People who need rehab for drug abuse can't use their Medicare health coverage at just any program, and they will need to locate a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their treatment. Medicare offers a list of Medicare accepted providers to make the job of locating a Medicare accepted facility a bit easier.
