Medicare is a kind of health insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The one catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehab, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual should be hospitalized for their problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
