Medicare is a kind of medical insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, and also people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual must acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they may also have to visit their doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what type of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their issue, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
