Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must provide insurance coverage for basic drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play a significant role in the reimbursements of treatment for drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all facilities accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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 screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If someone in Summit is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, they must satisfy the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fit within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year may qualify this year.
