Medicare is a form of health care insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, and also individuals with specific disabilities and diseases. If someone who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the person will need to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to visit their physician who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual has to be in a hospital for their issue, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
