Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers 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 screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Wurtsboro wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet 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 rules, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
