Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a significant role in the reimbursements of substance abuse treatment services. Medicaid subscribers will want to take into account that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers will take 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, long-term residential, outpatient and behavioral health services.
If an individual in River Heights wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehab, they must satisfy the following guidelines: 1) Be over 65 years of age 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 eligibility requirements and these change each year. So, a person who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
