Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently 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 may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities which do take 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Stamford wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
