Medicare is a sort of health care insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual needs to be in a hospital for their problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any 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 supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
