Medicare is a kind of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, and also people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment 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 person will have to obtain treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence rehab, they may also have to see their doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve what sort of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual has to be hospitalized for their problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
