Medicare is a kind of medical insurance created by the federal government for seniors, as well as people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the person must obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start rehab, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be hospitalized because of their issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
