Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept 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 include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Kensett wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requirements and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
