Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the government for older folks, and also those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person will have to acquire treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence treatment, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what sort of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual must be in a hospital for his or her problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
