Medicare is a form of medical health insurance created by the government for seniors, in addition to people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment coming from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they can also get to visit their medical doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be hospitalized because of their problem, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
