Medicare is a type of medical insurance designed by the federal government for seniors, in addition to individuals with specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only real exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehabilitation, they can also get to see their physician who must state that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
