Medicare is a type of health insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone 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 significant degree. The only exception is, the person must receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
