Medicare is a type of medical health insurance created by the government for senior citizens, and also people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real catch is, the individual will have to receive treatment from your drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual needs to be in a hospital for problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
