Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Prospect wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 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 guidelines, restrictions and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
