Medicare is a kind of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for seniors, as well as individuals with certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start treatment, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual should be hospitalized because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
