Medicare is a type of medical health insurance created by the federal government for older folks, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they can also get to see their physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual should be in a hospital for his or her issue, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
