Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, and also those that have certain disabilities and diseases. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the person must acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence treatment, they may also have to visit their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
