Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Merryville, LA.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently 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 may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take 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 consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If someone in Merryville is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requisites and these change each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
