Medicare is a sort of health insurance developed by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the person must obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin rehab, they can also get to see their physician who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
