Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs accept this form of health insurance which is offered exclusively to older Americans and individuals with particular disabilities and chronic diseases. There are different types of Medicare, and the type of rehabilitation which can be covered in a Medicare accepted drug rehabilitation facility is determined by which kind of Medicare a person is covered under. As an example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug and alcohol rehab facilities when the rehabilitation client needs hospitalization to address their drug abuse problem. Individuals who have Medicare Part A will be responsible for the standard cost they'd have to pay for every other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted facility, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the person will need to pay for themselves or through another form of supplemental insurance. Those who need treatment for drug or alcohol use can't use their Medicare health insurance at just any program, and they will need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their rehabilitation. Medicare offers a directory of Medicare accepted treatment providers to make the job of finding a Medicare accepted program a bit easier.
