Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Burlington is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
