Medicare is a kind of health insurance designed by the U.S. government for older persons, in addition to people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The one exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence treatment, they can also get to visit their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve which kind of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual needs to be in a hospital for his or her problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
