Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income households that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover standard substance abuse treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health services in the U.S., and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders may want to consider that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At facilities which do accept 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, detox, inpatient, long-term residential, outpatient and mental health services.
If a person in Wales wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill the following criteria: 1) Be over 65 years of age or under 19 years old 2) be pregnant or a parent and 3) fall within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and qualification requirements and these change each year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state last year just might be approved this year.
