Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. 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 substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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 include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Dickinson wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 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 qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
