Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important 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 will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do take 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 consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If someone in Decatur is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill 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 specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requisites and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
