Medicare is a kind of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for seniors, as well as people with specific disabilities and diseases. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start treatment, they will also have to see their physician who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized for issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
