Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If someone in Medicine Lodge wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
