Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently 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 consider that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehab centers 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Bessemer is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 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, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
