Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take 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, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If a person in Elgin 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 guidelines, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
