Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the person will have to obtain treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual must be hospitalized for his or her problem, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
