Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - St. Elmo, AL.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities which do take 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If someone in St. Elmo wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
