Medicare is a type of health insurance designed by the government for older persons, and also people who have certain disabilities and diseases. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The one exception is, the individual must acquire treatment from a drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehab, they can also get to see their medical doctor who must declare that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will typically approve what type of rehabilitation the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center in the event that the individual must be hospitalized because of their problem, and also the costs that they will have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they'll have to self pay.
