Medicare is a kind of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If a person who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real catch is, the individual will need to receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehabilitation, they can also get to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation providers. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual has to be in a hospital because of their problem, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance or they've got to self pay.
