Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Thayer, MO.

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 treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At rehab centers 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If an individual in Thayer wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
