Medicare is a kind of health care insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, as well as individuals with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the person will have to receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start treatment, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve which kind of treatment the individual 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 program if the individual needs to be in a hospital for his or her problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
