Medicare is a form of medical health insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, and also people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will need to receive treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what type of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual should be hospitalized for problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
