Medicare is a kind of health insurance created by the government for seniors, and also those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The one exception is, the person must acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin rehab, they will also have to see their doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what sort of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual must be hospitalized because of their problem, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in 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're going to have to self pay.
