Medicare is a kind of health insurance created by the U.S. government for older persons, along with those that have specific disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual must acquire treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they will also have to see their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve which kind of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program when the individual must be in a hospital for their problem, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation inside a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
