Medicare is a kind of health insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the person will need to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
