Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take Medicaid, individuals 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, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Hermitage is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet 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 specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
