Medicare is a type of medical insurance developed by the government for older persons, as well as people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The one exception is, the person will have to acquire treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehab, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be in a hospital because of their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
