Medicare is a form of health care insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what type of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be hospitalized because of their problem, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
