Medicare accepted alcohol and drug treatment facilities accept this type of health insurance that's supplied exclusively to older Americans and individuals with certain disabilities and long-term diseases. There are a few different forms of Medicare, and the kind of rehab which is covered in a Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehab program is determined by which kind of Medicare someone is covered under. By way of example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug treatment centers in the event the rehab client needs hospitalization to handle their drug abuse issue. Individuals covered by Medicare Part A will need to cover the standard cost they would be asked to pay for any other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the individual will have to pay for themselves or through some other type of supplemental insurance coverage. People who need rehab for substance abuse can't use their Medicare health coverage at just any program, and they will need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they would like to self-pay for their treatment. Medicare can provide a list of Medicare accepted treatment providers to make the job of locating a Medicare accepted facility somewhat easier.
