Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Fertile wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
