Medicare is a type of health care insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as those that have certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the individual must acquire treatment coming from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual has to be hospitalized because of their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
