Medicare is a type of medical health insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, and also people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin rehab, they will also have to see their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual needs to be hospitalized for their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
