Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers may want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs which do accept 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, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and behavioral health services.
If an individual in Howell wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years of age 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, restrictions and qualification requirements and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year just might qualify this year.
