Medicare is a form of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the individual must obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence rehab, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be hospitalized for their problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
