Medicare is a type of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for older persons, and also individuals with specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehab, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for his or her issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
