Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehab, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual should be in a hospital for their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
