Medicare is a kind of medical insurance developed by the federal government for seniors, and also people with certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start treatment, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for problem, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
