Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Easton wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requirements and these change every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
