Medicare accepted drug rehabilitation programs accept this kind of health care insurance which is offered exclusively to older Americans and people with certain disabilities and long-term illnesses. There are a few different forms of Medicare, and the kind of rehab which can be covered in a Medicare accepted drug rehab program is determined by which type of Medicare someone is covered under. For example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug and alcohol rehab facilities in the event the rehabilitation client requires hospitalization to address their substance abuse issue. Individuals covered by Medicare Part A will be responsible for the standard cost they'd be asked to pay for every other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the individual will have to pay for on their own or through some other form of supplemental insurance. Folks who need rehabilitation for drug abuse can't use their Medicare health insurance at just any program, and they will need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they wish to self-pay for their rehab. Medicare provides a list of Medicare accepted providers to make the job of finding a Medicare accepted facility a little bit easier.
