Medicare is a type of health insurance created by the government for older folks, and also people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of drug or alcohol abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they will also have to see their doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual must be in a hospital for his or her issue, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
