Medicare is a sort of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, and also those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the person will have to receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be in a hospital because of their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
