Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of 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 services in the country, and is starting 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 rehabilitation programs which do accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If a person in East Prairie wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill 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, restrictions and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
