Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Pass Christian, MS.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept 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. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If someone in Pass Christian wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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, limitations and qualification requirements and these change every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
