Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant 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 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If someone in Laurel is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 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 change every year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
