Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be hospitalized for their issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
