Medicare is a type of medical health insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the person must acquire treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start treatment, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual needs to be hospitalized for problem, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
