Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. 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 drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Old Westbury wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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 specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
