Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehabilitation centers accept this type of health insurance that is offered exclusively to older Americans and people with particular disabilities and long-term diseases. There are a few different kinds of Medicare, and the type of treatment that is covered in a Medicare accepted alcohol and drug treatment program depends upon which kind of Medicare an individual is covered under. As an example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug and alcohol rehab facilities in the event the rehabilitation client requires hospitalization to cope with their drug or alcohol use issue. Individuals who have Medicare Part A will need to cover the standard cost they would be required to pay for every other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the person will need to pay for on their own or through some other type of supplemental insurance coverage. Folks who need rehab for drug or alcohol use can't use their Medicare health insurance at just any program, and they're going to need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their rehab. Medicare provides a directory of Medicare accepted providers to help make the job of finding a Medicare accepted center somewhat easier.
