Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the federal government for older folks, and also people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual should be in a hospital for his or her problem, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
