Medicare is a type of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual must receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual should be in a hospital because of their issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
