Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people with certain disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin treatment, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Medicare 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 his or her issue, as well as the costs that they will 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 Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
