Medicare is a sort of health care insurance created by the government for seniors, as well as those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin rehabilitation, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of treatment providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual has to be in a hospital because of their problem, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
