Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the government for older folks, and also people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. 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 insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve which kind of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized because of their issue, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
