Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, 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 will take 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If someone in El Paso is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requisites and these vary every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
