Medicare is a form of medical insurance developed by the government for senior citizens, and also people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The one exception is, the person will have to receive treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
