Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Georgetown wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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, restrictions and qualification requirements and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
