Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance created by the government for older persons, and also people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs treatment for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be in a hospital for issue, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
