Medicare is a kind of health insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the person must receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to see their physician who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve which kind of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be in a hospital for problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
