Medicare is a type of medical insurance developed by the federal government for older folks, as well as those that have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual has to be in a hospital for issue, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
