Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important 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 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 consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Westport is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must fulfill 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 specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
