Medicare is a sort of health insurance developed by the U.S. government for older folks, in addition to people who have certain disabilities and illnesses. If someone that has Medicare needs rehab for instances of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered entirely by their Medicare insurance or to a significant degree. The only catch is, the person will have to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to begin rehab, they can also get to visit their primary care physician who must state that rehabilitation services are medically needed, and the physician will usually approve what sort of treatment the person will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of treatment services. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual must be in a hospital because of their problem, and also the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they will have to self pay.
