Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Austin, KY.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take 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 intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If a person in Austin is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these change every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
