Medicare is a sort of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for older persons, as well as individuals with certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will have to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual must be hospitalized for his or her issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
