Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people with specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from your drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what type of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual must be hospitalized for his or her problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
