Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities which do accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Jersey wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 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 rules, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
