Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities accept 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 screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Alamosa wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
