Medicare is a sort of medical insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real exception is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehab, they can also get to see their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for his or her issue, along with the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
