Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At facilities 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If someone in Peculiar wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
