Medicaid is an insurance option 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 take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Rockland wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, 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 requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
