Medicare is a form of health care insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehab the person 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 facility if the individual must be in a hospital for their problem, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
