Medicare is a form of health care insurance designed by the government for older persons, along with those that have certain disabilities and diseases. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehab will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start treatment, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual should be in a hospital because of their problem, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
