Medicare is a type of medical health insurance designed by the government for seniors, as well as people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of drug or alcohol abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The one catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence treatment, they may also have to see their physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual has to be hospitalized because of their issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
