Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and sicknesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they will also have to visit their doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve which kind of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual should be in a hospital because of their issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
