Medicare is a type of health insurance developed by the U.S. government for older folks, along with people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehab services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be hospitalized for problem, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
