Medicare is a form of medical health insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, along with individuals with specific disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual should be in a hospital because of their problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
