Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Painted Post 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 old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
