Medicare is a form of medical health insurance created by the federal government for senior citizens, along with people with specific disabilities and diseases. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the person will have to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual should be hospitalized for problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
