Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of 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 U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept 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 consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Gainesville is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit 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 last year may be approved this year.
