Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable 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 facilities will take Medicaid. At facilities 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If a person in Thomas is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill 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, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
