Medicare is a sort of health insurance developed by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people with certain disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehab, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve which kind of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
