Medicare is a type of medical insurance developed by the federal government for seniors, and also those that have certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence rehabilitation, they can also get to see their doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual has to be in a hospital because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
