Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, and also those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the individual will need to receive treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehab, they may also have to see their physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual must be in a hospital for issue, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
