Medicare is a kind of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as those that have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the person will need to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they may also have to see their doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual must be hospitalized for problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
