Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people who have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the individual will need to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they may also have to see their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
