Medicare is a kind of health care insurance developed by the government for older persons, as well as people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If a person that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant degree. The only exception is, the person will have to receive treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence treatment, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment services. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual must be in a hospital because of their problem, and the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab in the Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance or they'll have to self pay.
