Medicare is a sort of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, and also people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real 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 rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what type of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual should be hospitalized because of their issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
