Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Bellevue is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must satisfy 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 guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
