Medicare is a type of health care insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, along with people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The one exception is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they will also have to visit their doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted facility, 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.
