Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant 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 rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Aspen wants to get 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, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
