Medicare is a form of medical insurance developed by the U.S. government for seniors, along with those that have specific disabilities and diseases. If someone who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the individual will need to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what type of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their issue, along with the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
