Medicare is a type of health care insurance designed by the government for seniors, in addition to people who have certain disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence treatment, they can also get to see their physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual needs to be hospitalized for problem, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
