Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Jonestown, PA.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid holders will want to bear in mind 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.

If a person in Jonestown wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requirements and these change every year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
