Medicare is a type of health care insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual must be in a hospital for issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
