Medicare is a sort of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The one exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual has to be in a hospital for their problem, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
