Medicare is a kind of health insurance developed by the U.S. government for seniors, along with those that have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual must acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual should be hospitalized because of their problem, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
