Medicare is a sort of health care insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as those that have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the person will have to acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they will also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual should be in a hospital for their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
