Medicare is a type of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, as well as people with specific disabilities and illnesses. 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 insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person must receive treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what type of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual must be in a hospital for problem, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
