Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, along with those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence treatment, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be in a hospital for his or her problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
