Medicare is a form of medical insurance developed by the government for older folks, as well as those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the person will have to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their doctor who must state that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be in a hospital for their issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
