Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs 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 consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Amherst is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
