Medicare is a kind of medical insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, in addition to those that have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person will have to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
