Medicare is a form of health care insurance designed by the U.S. government for older folks, in addition to people who have specific disabilities and sicknesses. If someone that has Medicare needs treatment for instances of substance abuse, their rehab will either be covered in full by their Medicare health insurance or to a great extent. The only exception is, the person will need to obtain treatment from your drug rehab facility which accepts Medicare. Before the person will be allowed to commence rehab, they may also have to see their primary care physician who must declare that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will usually approve what sort of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover various kinds of treatment providers. Medicare Part A covers an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted facility if the individual has to be hospitalized for his or her problem, as well as the costs that they will have to cover personally are identical to every other hospital stay. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab inside a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Medicare Part B doesn't pay for with supplemental insurance coverage or they're going to have to self pay.
