Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Adirondack wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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 guidelines, limitations and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
