Medicare accepted drug and alcohol rehabilitation programs accept this type of health insurance that is offered exclusively to older Americans and individuals with particular disabilities and long-term illnesses. There are a few different types of Medicare, and the type of rehab that is covered within a Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility depends on the kind of Medicare an individual is covered under. For example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient alcohol and drug rehab facilities when the rehab client needs hospitalization to deal with their drug or alcohol use problem. Individuals who have Medicare Part A will be responsible for the normal cost they'd need to pay for every other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted center, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the person will have to pay for on their own or through some other type of supplemental insurance coverage. Those who need rehabilitation for drug abuse can't use their Medicare health coverage at just any facility, and they will need to seek out a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their rehabilitation. Medicare offers a list of Medicare accepted providers to help make the job of locating a Medicare accepted facility somewhat easier.
