Medicare is a kind of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehab, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual must be hospitalized for their issue, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
