Medicare is a sort of health insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, along with people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will be either covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehabilitation, they may also have to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what sort of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center if the individual needs to be in a hospital because of their issue, as well as the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any 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 coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
