Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take 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. Rehabilitation 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 Center Ridge is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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 requisites and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
