Medicare is a form of health insurance developed by the federal government for older persons, as well as people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real exception is, the person will have to acquire treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence rehab, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be in a hospital 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 rehab in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
