Medicare is a sort of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only exception is, the person will have to obtain treatment coming from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
