Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard 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 an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers 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 consist of screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If someone in Sweet Valley is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requirements and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might be approved this year.
