Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, along with individuals with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what sort of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized for issue, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
