Medicare is a form of health care insurance created by the U.S. government for seniors, as well as people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real catch is, the person will have to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
