Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, in addition to people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the person must receive treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they can also get to see their physician who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be in a hospital for their problem, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
