Medicare is a form of medical health insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
