Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Doolittle, MO.

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 country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do take Medicaid, clients 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 screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If someone in Doolittle wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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 guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
