Medicare is a sort of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for older persons, as well as people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The one catch is, the individual must acquire treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual should be hospitalized because of their problem, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
