Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance created by the federal government for older persons, as well as people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start treatment, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for problem, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
