Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant 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 facilities accept Medicaid. At facilities which do accept 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Oxford is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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 just might qualify this year.
