Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health 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 consider that while this is the case, not all rehab programs accept Medicaid. At facilities 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 recipients. Services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If someone in Oakley is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, 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) 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 in the previous year may be approved this year.
