Medicare is a form of health insurance created by the federal government for seniors, along with people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the individual must acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to begin treatment, they can also get to see their physician who must state that rehab services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve which kind of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
