Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At facilities 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Johnstown wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet 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 rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
