Medicare is a kind of medical health insurance designed by the federal government for seniors, as well as those that have certain disabilities and sicknesses. If an individual that 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 only catch is, the person will need to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be permitted to start rehab, they may also have to see their physician who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the physician will generally approve what type of rehab the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover different types of rehab providers. Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility when the individual should be hospitalized for their problem, and also the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as every other stay in a hospital. Medicare Part B will partly cover outpatient rehabilitation within a Medicare accepted center, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
