Medicare is a form of health care insurance developed by the government for older folks, and also people who have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual who has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their rehabilitation will either be covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a significant extent. The only catch is, the individual will need to obtain treatment coming from a drugs and alcohol detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to start treatment, they can also get to visit their medical doctor who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will generally approve what sort of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of treatment services. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be in a hospital for their problem, along with the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to any other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they will have to self pay.
