Medicare is a form of health insurance developed by the federal government for seniors, as well as people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real exception is, the individual must obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence treatment, they can also get to visit their doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital for issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted facility, 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.
