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 services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities will take 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, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Kent wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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 eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
