Medicare is a sort of health insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, as well as people who have specific disabilities and diseases. If a person that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the individual must receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehab, they may also have to visit their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
