Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If someone in Point Lookout is interested in getting 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) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
