Medicare is a form of health insurance developed by the government for older folks, as well as individuals with certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the person will need to acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they will also have to visit their physician who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual should be hospitalized for their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
