Medicare is a type of health care insurance designed by the federal government for seniors, as well as people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only real catch is, the person will have to receive treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence treatment, they may also have to see their doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual should be in a hospital for their issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
