Medicare is a sort of health care insurance designed by the government for older persons, as well as people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the individual will need to receive treatment from your alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve what type of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program if the individual must be hospitalized for problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
