Medicaid is an insurance option for low-income families that due to the Affordable Care Act must cover basic drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is currently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the country, and is beginning to play a considerable role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid subscribers will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take Medicaid. At rehab centers which do accept 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid include intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Willard wants to get Medicaid to pay for rehabilitation, 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) fit within a specified income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, restrictions and eligibility requisites and these change every year. So, an individual who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may qualify this year.
