Medicare accepted alcohol and drug treatment facilities accept this form of health care insurance which is provided exclusively to older Americans and people with specific disabilities and long-term illnesses. There are a few different types of Medicare, and the type of treatment that's covered inside a Medicare accepted drug and alcohol rehab program is determined by which kind of Medicare a person is covered under. As an example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug rehabilitation centers in the event that the treatment client requires hospitalization to deal with their drug or alcohol use issue. Individuals covered by 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 treatment inside a 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. People who need rehab for substance abuse can't use their Medicare health coverage at just any program, and they'll need to locate a Medicare accepted program unless they wish to self-pay for their rehab. Medicare offers a list of Medicare accepted providers to help make the job of locating a Medicare accepted facility somewhat easier.
