Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Central City wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
