Medicare is a form of medical insurance developed by the federal government for older persons, along with those that have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment coming from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehab, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual has to be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
