Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance developed by the government for older persons, as well as people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehab, they can also get to see their medical doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for his or her issue, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
