Medicare is a kind of medical insurance developed by the government for older persons, as well as people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the individual must obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual needs to be in a hospital for his or her problem, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
