Medicare is a type of medical insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, as well as people with specific disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the person will have to obtain treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will typically approve what sort of rehab the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual must be in a hospital for his or her issue, as well as the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
