Medicare is a kind of health insurance created by the federal government for seniors, and also those that have specific disabilities and diseases. If a person who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the person must acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be hospitalized for their issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
