Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If a person in Green Forest wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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 rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
