Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Columbus, KY.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse 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 treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take 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 consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If someone in Columbus wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill 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 guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
