Medicare is a kind of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real exception is, the individual must acquire treatment from your drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual needs to be in a hospital for their problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
