Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act they are required to cover standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health services in the country, and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities will take 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 intervention, screenings, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Mexican Hat is interested in getting 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) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own rules, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary every year. So, someone who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
