Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment 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 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Kealakekua wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
