Medicare is a sort of health insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only catch is, the person will have to acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment solutions. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be hospitalized for his or her issue, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
