Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse rehabilitation services. 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 subscribers will want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 recipients. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Silverdale wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change each year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
