Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start treatment, they will also have to see their doctor who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
