Medicare is a type of health insurance developed by the federal government for older folks, and also people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence treatment, they will also have to visit their doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual must be hospitalized for their problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
