Medicare is a form of health insurance designed by the federal government for older folks, as well as those that have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The one exception is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start treatment, they may also have to see their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
