Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Lamar, MS.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If an individual in Lamar wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
