Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Facilities - Elk Creek, VA.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At facilities 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 behavioral health services.

If someone in Elk Creek wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet 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 specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
