Medicare is a form of health care insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start treatment, they can also get to visit their doctor who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual needs to be in a hospital for his or her problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
