Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Kennedy, AL.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept Medicaid, individuals 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If an individual in Kennedy is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
