Medicare is a sort of health care insurance developed by the government for older persons, in addition to individuals with certain disabilities and illnesses. When someone who has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to visit 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 several types of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual should be in a hospital for problem, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
