Medicare is a form of medical health insurance created by the government for older folks, along with those that have specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The only real exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment coming from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they will also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the doctor will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual has to be in a hospital for problem, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
