Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If someone in Lawton is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must fulfill 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, restrictions and qualification requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
