Medicare is a kind of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the individual will need to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual should be in a hospital for problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
