Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At facilities 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Oneida 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 specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
