Medicare is a kind of health care insurance designed by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as people who have specific disabilities and diseases. If someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the person will need to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to see their physician who must declare that treatment services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual needs to be hospitalized for his or her problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
