Medicaid - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Centers - Wellington, MO.

Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If someone in Wellington wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, 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) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requirements and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
