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 treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At rehab centers 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, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Edison is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
