Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning 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, 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If someone in Lake George wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, 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, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
