Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families 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 treatment services in the country, and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehab centers 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If a person in Weedsport is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and qualification requirements and these change every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
