Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently 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 keep in mind 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If someone in Florence 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) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
