Medicare is a kind of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to those that have specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence treatment, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be hospitalized for issue, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
