Medicare accepted alcohol and drug treatment programs accept this type of medical insurance which is supplied exclusively to older Americans and people with certain disabilities and long-term diseases. There are different types of Medicare, and the type of rehab that's covered inside a Medicare accepted drug rehab facility depends upon which type of Medicare an individual is covered under. As an example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities in the event the treatment client requires hospitalization to deal with their drug abuse problem. Individuals covered by Medicare Part A will need to cover the normal cost they would be asked to pay for any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the person will have to pay for on their own or through another form of supplemental insurance. Those who need rehab for drug abuse can't use their Medicare health insurance at just any facility, and they will need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they wish to self-pay for their rehabilitation. Medicare provides a directory of Medicare accepted providers to make the job of locating a Medicare accepted facility somewhat easier.
