Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, and also people who have specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual who 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 degree. The only catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the person 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 must be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
