Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At facilities which do accept 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Long Pond wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill 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.
