Does Medicare Part B Cover Inpatient Gambling Addiction Facilities?
Question by John: Does Medicare part B cover inpatient gambling addiction facilities?
Couldnt find the answer to this. Assuming the facility accepts Medicare, of course. I doubt I would have trouble getting it documented as “necessary” or whatever medicare would require. Also, what percentage if they do not cover it all. Facilities such as CORE, algamus, etc. Thank you!

Medicare Part B is for out-patient services. Part A is for in-patient services but gambling is not a medical conditon and would not be covered.
