Medicare is a form of medical health insurance designed by the federal government for older persons, as well as individuals with specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone who has Medicare needs rehabilitation for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered in full by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the person must receive treatment from the alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to commence treatment, they may also have to visit their medical doctor who must state that rehab services are medically essential, and the doctor will usually approve what type of rehabilitation the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted center when the individual must be hospitalized for their problem, as well as the costs which they willwill have to cover personally are the same as any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient treatment within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
