Medicare is a sort of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for seniors, as well as those that have certain disabilities and diseases. If a person that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only real catch is, the individual will need to receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin treatment, they may also have to see their doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual must be in a hospital for their issue, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
