Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., 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 rehabilitation centers will take Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in South Glens Falls wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
