Medicare is a form of health care insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, and also people who have certain disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the person will need to acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for his or her issue, and also the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
