Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance developed by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual has to be in a hospital for issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
