Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Rockaway Park, NY.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard 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 treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take Medicaid. At facilities 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.

If a person in Rockaway Park wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
