Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance designed by the federal government for seniors, as well as people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual should be hospitalized for his or her problem, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
