Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance designed by the U.S. government for seniors, in addition to individuals with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual must receive treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they may also have to see their physician who must state that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be in a hospital for his or her problem, 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 inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
