Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs 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, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Spencerport wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
