Medicare is a form of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, in addition to individuals with specific disabilities and diseases. If a person who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the person must acquire treatment from your drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence treatment, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
