Medicare is a type of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for older persons, as well as people with certain disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the person will need to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they can also get to visit their physician who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for problem, and the costs that they will have to pay for 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're going to have to self pay.
