Medicare is a kind of medical insurance created by the federal government for older folks, and also people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The one exception is, the person must obtain treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual has to be in a hospital for problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
