Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may 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, 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 behavioral health services.
If someone in Wakefield wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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 specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
