Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Monroe is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
