Medicare is a kind of health insurance developed by the government for older persons, and also people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual must receive treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehab, they can also get to see their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve which kind of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual must be in a hospital because of their problem, and also the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
