Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is starting to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Chestnut Ridge is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet 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, restrictions and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
