Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the U.S. government for senior citizens, as well as those that have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will be either covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only real exception is, the individual will have to acquire treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehab, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve which kind of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehab providers. Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their problem, along with the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
