Medicare is a kind of health insurance designed by the federal government for older persons, as well as people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The one exception is, the person must acquire treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence treatment, they will also have to see their physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual has to be hospitalized because of their problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
