Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, as well as people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If a person that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what type of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment solutions. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual has to be hospitalized for problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially 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 or they'll have to self pay.
