Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to 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 starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At facilities 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, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Bigelow wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
