Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept Medicaid, clients won't have co-payments in most states. For states which do charge co-pays, there are limits to the out-of-pocket expenses for recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Chelsea is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
