Medicare is a type of health insurance developed by the government for seniors, as well as people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The one exception is, the person will have to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they will also have to see their physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what sort of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be hospitalized because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
