Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If a person in Bethune is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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 requirements and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
