Medicare is a type of medical health insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and diseases. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will have to receive treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what sort of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
