Medicare is a kind of medical insurance designed by the U.S. government for older persons, and also people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare health insurance or to a significant extent. The only real exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence rehabilitation, they may also have to see their doctor who must declare that rehab services are medically necessary, and the doctor will typically approve what type of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of rehab services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual needs to be hospitalized for their issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they're going to have to self pay.
