Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of 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 country, and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to consider that while this is the case, not all facilities 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 consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Port Jefferson is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
