Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities will take 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Worthington is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill 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 specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
