Medicare is a type of medical health insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, and also people with certain disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real catch is, the individual must obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be hospitalized for problem, 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 rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
