Medicare is a form of medical health insurance developed by the government for older persons, along with people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the person must obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence treatment, they may also have to see their physician who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be hospitalized for their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
