Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, and also those that have certain disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person must obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
