Medicare is a type of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The one exception is, the person must obtain treatment from your drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin treatment, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
