Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders may 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, 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Jefferson wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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 guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
