Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do take 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If a person in Brookings wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, 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) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requirements and these change each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
