Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At rehab centers 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 subscribers. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Laurel wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requisites and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
