Medicare is a form of health insurance developed by the government for senior citizens, as well as individuals with certain disabilities and sicknesses. When someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to begin treatment, they can also get to see their doctor who must state that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve what type of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual has to be in a hospital for 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 partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they will have to self pay.
