Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities 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, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Big Pool wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 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 vary every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
