Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Lake St. Louis is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requirements and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
