Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehab facilities accept this kind of health insurance that is provided exclusively to older Americans and people with certain disabilities and long-term diseases. There are a few different forms of Medicare, and the kind of rehab that's covered in a Medicare accepted alcohol and drug rehabilitation program is dependent upon which kind of Medicare someone is covered under. By way of example, Medicare Part A covers inpatient drug rehab centers in the event the rehab client needs hospitalization to deal with their substance abuse problem. Individuals covered by Medicare Part A will need to cover the standard cost they would have to pay for every other stay in hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover the individual will have to pay for on their own or through some other type of supplemental insurance. Those who need rehab for drug or alcohol use can't use their Medicare health insurance at just any center, and they will need to search out a Medicare accepted program unless they would like to self-pay for their rehabilitation. Medicare can provide a list of Medicare accepted treatment providers to help make the job of locating a Medicare accepted center a bit easier.
