Medicare is a sort of health care insurance developed by the government for senior citizens, along with those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the person will need to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility 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 the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
