Medicare is a form of medical insurance designed by the government for senior citizens, along with people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the person must acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual should be hospitalized for issue, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
