Medicare is a type of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, along with people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve which kind of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual should be in a hospital for their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
