Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, along with those that have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone who 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 degree. The only exception is, the individual will need to receive treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start treatment, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
