Medicaid is an insurance option 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 services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept 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 behavioral health services.
If a person in Garden City wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
