Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Summit is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
