Medicare is a type of health insurance developed by the government for senior citizens, in addition to individuals with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be hospitalized for issue, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
