Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take 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, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If someone in Echo wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years old or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requisites and these vary every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
