Medicare accepted drug and alcohol treatment facilities accept this type of medical insurance that is provided exclusively to older Americans and individuals with particular disabilities and chronic illnesses. There are a few different forms of Medicare, and the type of rehab which is covered in a Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehab program is determined by the kind of Medicare someone is covered under. As an example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug rehabilitation programs when the rehab client requires hospitalization to address their drug abuse problem. Individuals who have Medicare Part A will need to cover the typical cost they'd be required to pay for any other hospital stay. 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 themselves or through some other form of supplemental insurance. Individuals who need treatment for substance abuse can't use their Medicare health coverage at just any facility, and they will need to search out a Medicare accepted program unless they want to self-pay for their rehab. Medicare can offer a directory of Medicare accepted providers to help make the job of finding a Medicare accepted program a bit easier.
