Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities 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, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Bassett is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
