Medicare is a type of medical health insurance created by the government for senior citizens, as well as people with specific disabilities and diseases. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they can also get to see their doctor who must state that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partially 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.
