Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities 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, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Watkins Glen wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
