Medicare is a sort of health insurance developed by the federal government for older folks, in addition to those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only real catch is, the person will need to receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual must be hospitalized for their problem, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
