Medicare is a type of health insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as individuals with certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be hospitalized for his or her issue, and also the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
