Medicare is a kind of health insurance created by the government for seniors, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the person will have to receive treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehab, they can also get to see their doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual should be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
