Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for older persons, as well as people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start treatment, they may also have to see their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what type of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual should be hospitalized because of their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
