Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, and also people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The one catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
