Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Parachute wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet 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 specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
