Medicare is a kind of health care insurance created by the government for older persons, along with individuals with specific disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person will have to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence treatment, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual should be hospitalized for their issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
