Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, as well as people with certain disabilities and sicknesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual must obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation solutions. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual has to be hospitalized for his or her problem, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
