Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Cornwall wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old 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 guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
