Medicare is a form of medical health insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, and also 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 completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only exception is, the person will have to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence treatment, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual must be hospitalized for problem, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
