Medicare is a sort of medical insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, and also people with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the individual will need to acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation solutions. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual must be hospitalized for his or her problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
