Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers 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, 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Alma is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 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, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
