Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Wilmington is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
