Medicare is a kind of health insurance designed by the federal government for seniors, and also people who have certain disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the person must obtain treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual should be in a hospital for his or her problem, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
