Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, and also individuals with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the person will have to acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they may also have to visit their doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve which kind of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual must be hospitalized for their problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
