Medicare is a kind of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for older persons, as well as those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person who 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 exception is, the person must acquire treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehab, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual must be in a hospital because of their problem, along with the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
