Medicare is a type of health insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, along with individuals with specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered fully by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the person will need to obtain treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start treatment, they can also get to see their physician who must state that treatment services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
