Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, along with people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they can also get to see their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve which kind of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their issue, and also 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 inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
