Medicare is a type of health insurance designed by the government for older folks, as well as people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual has to be in a hospital because of their issue, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
