Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At facilities 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. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Gilbertsville wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill 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 rules, restrictions and qualification requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
