Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehabilitation programs accept this form of medical insurance which is offered solely to older Americans as well as people with particular disabilities and long-term diseases. There are different forms of Medicare, and the kind of rehab which can be covered in a Medicare accepted drug and alcohol rehab program is determined by which type of Medicare an individual is covered under. As an example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug and alcohol treatment programs when the rehabilitation client requires hospitalization to handle their drug or alcohol use problem. Individuals covered by Medicare Part A will be responsible for the typical cost they'd have to pay for any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted program, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the individual will need to pay for themselves or through another type of supplemental insurance. People who need rehab for drug or alcohol use can't use their Medicare health coverage at just any center, and they will need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their treatment. Medicare can offer a directory of Medicare accepted treatment providers to help make the job of finding a Medicare accepted facility somewhat easier.
