Medicare is a kind of health care insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the person will need to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to see their doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
