Medicare is a sort of health insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as people who have specific disabilities and diseases. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the individual must obtain treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab solutions. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
