Medicare is a type of medical health insurance developed by the federal government for senior citizens, as well as people who have specific disabilities and diseases. When someone who has Medicare needs rehab for cases of substance abuse, their treatment will either be covered completely by their Medicare insurance or to a great extent. The one exception is, the individual will have to obtain treatment from an alcohol and drugs detox facility which accepts Medicare. Before the individual will be permitted to commence rehabilitation, they can also get to see their doctor who must state that treatment services are medically necessary, and the physician will typically approve what sort of treatment the individual will take part in. Medicare Part An and Part B cover several types of rehabilitation solutions. Medicare Part A pays for an inpatient stay in a Medicare accepted program in the event that the individual has to be hospitalized for his or her issue, and the costs that they will have to cover personally are the same as any other stay in a hospital. Part B will partially cover outpatient rehab within a Medicare accepted facility, and the individual will have to cover whatever Part B doesn't cover with supplement insurance coverage or they've got to self pay.
