Medicare is a kind of medical insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people with specific disabilities and illnesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the person will have to acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin treatment, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
