Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind 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 include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Oakdale is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 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 guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
