Medicare is a kind of medical insurance developed by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the person must obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be hospitalized for problem, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
