Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind 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 consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in St. Francis is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
