Medicare is a kind of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehab, they may also have to visit their physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
