Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At facilities which do take 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, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If a person in St. Francis is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, 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) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
