Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the government for seniors, and also people with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The one catch is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from the drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start treatment, they will also have to visit their medical doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what sort of rehab the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual needs to be in a hospital for their issue, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
