Medicaid - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Avalon, WI.

Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for standard drug and alcohol treatment. Medicaid is presently the single largest payer for mental health treatment services in the U.S., and is starting to play an important role in the reimbursements of drug and alcohol rehabilitation services. Medicaid holders will want to keep in mind that while this is the case, not all rehabilitation centers accept Medicaid. At rehabilitation programs 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. Rehabilitation services covered by Medicaid consist of intervention, screenings, medication maintenance, counseling, detox, inpatient, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.

If an individual in Avalon wants to get Medicaid to pay for treatment, 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) fall within a specific income bracket. Each state also has their own guidelines, limitations and eligibility requisites and these vary each year. So, an individual who didn't qualify for Medicaid in their state last year just might qualify this year.
