Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At facilities 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Piffard wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requisites and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
