Medicare is a sort of health insurance created by the U.S. government for senior citizens, in addition to people with certain disabilities and illnesses. If an individual that has Medicare needs rehabilitation for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will be either covered fully by their Medicare insurance or to a great degree. The only real exception is, the individual will have to receive treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be allowed to start rehab, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that rehab services are medically essential, and the physician will typically approve what type of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehab services. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual must be in a hospital for their issue, and the costs which they willwill have to pay for personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Medicare Part B will partially cover outpatient rehabilitation in a Medicare accepted program, and the individual will need to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance or they'll have to self pay.
