Medicare is a kind of health insurance created by the government for older persons, as well as people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they may also have to see their doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what type of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual needs to be hospitalized for problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
