Medicare is a type of medical health insurance designed by the U.S. government for seniors, and also those that have certain disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehab, they can also get to see their physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual should be hospitalized for his or her issue, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
