Medicare is a sort of medical insurance created by the government for senior citizens, along with people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the person must obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
