Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, in addition to individuals with certain disabilities and diseases. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they will also have to see their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual needs to be hospitalized for his or her issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
