Medicare is a type of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to people who have specific disabilities and diseases. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual needs to be hospitalized for their problem, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
