Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities accept 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If someone in Casmalia wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following guidelines: 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 guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
