Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance developed by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to people who have specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be hospitalized because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially 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 coverage or they'll have to self pay.
