Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for seniors, in addition to those that have certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will usually approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual has to be in a hospital for their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they've got to self pay.
