Medicare is a form of health insurance designed by the federal government for seniors, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and diseases. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real catch is, the individual must receive treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence treatment, they will also have to visit their physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve which kind of rehab the individual 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 center when the individual has to be in a hospital for their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
