Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance designed by the government for older folks, as well as those that have specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the person must receive treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehab, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for his or her problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
