Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance created by the federal government for seniors, as well as people with specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the person will have to obtain treatment coming from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehab, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
