Medicare is a form of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, along with people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The one catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they may also have to see their medical doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual must be hospitalized for issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
