Medicare is a sort of health care insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, as well as those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be in a hospital for his or her issue, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
