Medicare is a sort of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for older persons, and also people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the individual must obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they may also have to see their physician who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, along with the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
