Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for seniors, and also people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the person must receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to see their physician who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation solutions. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be in a hospital because of their problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
