Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At facilities 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 mental health services.
If a person in Harmony is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must meet the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old 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 eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year may be approved this year.
