Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Swainsboro wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet 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 specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requirements 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.
