Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Pickens wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
