Medicare is a sort of health care insurance developed by the federal government for older folks, along with individuals with specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment coming from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to visit their physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will generally approve what sort of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
