Medicare is a type of health care insurance developed by the government for senior citizens, along with those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. When someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the individual will need to receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual should be hospitalized for his or her issue, and also the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
