Medicare is a form of health insurance designed by the federal government for older persons, and also people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only exception is, the individual must receive treatment from the drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence treatment, they will also have to see their medical doctor who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the individual will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual must be hospitalized for his or her issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other hospital stay. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
