Medicare is a type of health insurance created by the U.S. government for older folks, and also people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The one catch is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehabilitation, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the doctor will usually approve which kind of treatment the person will do. Medicare Part An and Part B cover a variety of rehabilitation providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility in the event that the individual must be hospitalized because of their issue, along with the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplement insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
