Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance designed by the federal government for older folks, and also those that have certain disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the individual must obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehab, they may also have to see their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
