Medicare is a sort of health insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, in addition to people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start treatment, they can also get to visit their doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve what type of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual should be hospitalized for their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
