Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for older folks, as well as people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the individual will need to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence treatment, they will also have to visit their physician who must declare that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what type of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual has to be in a hospital because of their problem, 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 inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
