Medicare is a sort of health insurance designed by the government for older persons, and also people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the person must acquire treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehab, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what type of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their problem, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
