Medicare is a sort of health insurance designed by the federal government for older persons, as well as people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be hospitalized for his or her issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
