Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If a person in Petersburg is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and qualification requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
