Medicare is a form of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for seniors, as well as people who have specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the individual must obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehab, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized for their issue, along with the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
