Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the government for senior citizens, and also those that have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the person must acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they will also have to see their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what sort of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual must be in a hospital for problem, and also 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 facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
