Medicare is a kind of health care insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, and also those that have certain disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The one exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment coming from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be in a hospital for his or her issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
