Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard 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 significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehab centers 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. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Patoka wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must satisfy 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, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
