Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the government for seniors, and also people with certain disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person must obtain treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve which kind of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual has to be in a hospital for their problem, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
