Medicare is a type of medical insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as those that have specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the individual must receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their physician who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
