Medicare is a sort of health care insurance designed by the federal government for older persons, as well as those that have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they may also have to see their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual should be hospitalized because of their problem, along with the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
