Medicare is a form of health insurance developed by the government for senior citizens, and also people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence treatment, they will also have to see their doctor who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual should be in a hospital because of their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
