Medicare is a sort of medical insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, in addition to people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve which kind of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual needs to be in a hospital for issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
