Medicare is a type of medical insurance developed by the U.S. government for seniors, and also people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they can also get to see their medical doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve which kind of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual has to be hospitalized for their issue, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
