Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard substance abuse rehabilitation services. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is beginning to play an important role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take 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. Services covered by Medicaid consist of screenings, intervention, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If an individual in Oak Leaf wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must meet the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old 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 guidelines, limitations and qualification requirements and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
