Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for older persons, as well as people with certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehab, they can also get to see their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized because of their problem, and also the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
