Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people with certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only exception is, the person will need to receive treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
