Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Penn Valley wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old 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, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
