Medicare is a type of health insurance designed by the federal government for senior citizens, and also people who have certain disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they can also get to see their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual should be in a hospital for their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
