Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take 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 consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Parthenon wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
