Medicare is a form of medical insurance developed by the government for older folks, and also people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the person will have to receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin treatment, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
