Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take 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 consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Chatom 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) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
