Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept 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 include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Cedar is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 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 change each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
