Medicare accepted alcohol and drug treatment programs accept this kind of health insurance that's supplied exclusively to older Americans and people with particular disabilities and long-term illnesses. There are different types of Medicare, and the kind of rehab which can be covered in a Medicare accepted drug treatment center is determined by which type of Medicare an individual is covered under. For instance, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug and alcohol treatment centers in the event the rehabilitation client requires hospitalization to deal with their substance abuse issue. Individuals who have Medicare Part A will need to cover the normal cost they would need to pay for any other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted facility, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the individual will need to pay for themselves or through some other form of supplemental insurance coverage. People who need rehab for substance abuse can't use their Medicare health coverage at just any facility, and they're going to need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their rehabilitation. Medicare provides a list of Medicare accepted providers to make the job of finding a Medicare accepted facility somewhat easier.
