Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. 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 treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will 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, 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 intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in North Star is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
