Medicaid is an insurance program for low-income households that because of the Affordable Care Act they are required to provide insurance coverage for basic substance abuse 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 subscribers may want to bear in mind that while this is the case, not all rehab programs will take 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 subscribers. Services covered by Medicaid include screenings, intervention, counseling, medication maintenance, inpatient, detox, outpatient, long-term residential and mental health services.
If an individual in Portage is interested in getting Medicaid to pay for treatment, they must fulfill the following guidelines: 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 vary every year. So, a person who didn't get accepted for Medicaid in their state in the previous year may be approved this year.
