Medicare is a kind of health insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, along with people who have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the individual must receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence treatment, they will also have to visit their physician who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
