Medicare is a sort of health insurance developed by the federal government for older persons, and also people with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they may also have to see their physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized for their issue, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
