Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a considerable 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 rehabilitation centers will take 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Oneonta is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
