Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance created by the government for seniors, as well as individuals with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin treatment, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be in a hospital for his or her problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
