Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance created by the government for senior citizens, as well as people with certain disabilities and diseases. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the person will have to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the person 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 facility if the individual should be hospitalized for problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
