Medicare is a sort of medical insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The one catch is, the person must obtain treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their physician who must declare that treatment services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual has to be in a hospital for his or her problem, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
