Medicare is a sort of health care insurance developed by the federal government for seniors, and also people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The one exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to begin treatment, they may also have to see their medical doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will usually approve what sort of rehab the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual must be in a hospital because of their issue, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
