Medicare is a form of medical health insurance developed by the government for seniors, in addition to those that have specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the person will have to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehab, they can also get to visit their physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual should be in a hospital for his or her issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
