UNDERSTANDING MEDICAID
How Medicaid Works
States create and then run their Medicaid program within the framework of federal regulations. A state can decide to offer more services than what’s required by the federal government, and it can extend coverage to more people. The goal of Medicaid is to help people get coverage for health care if they qualify, based on the value of their assets and their income.
Medicaid covers certain groups, including low-income pregnant women, people with disabilities, low-income seniors, and others. Every state will decide the full set of benefits covered under Medicaid, but certain benefits are required by federal law. If a state offers other benefits, they’re known as optional benefits. Required benefits include inpatient and outpatient services at hospitals, lab services, X-rays, physicians, and home health services. Optional benefits include prescription drugs, occupational and physical therapy, and case management.
In some states, Medicaid coverage is extended to adults below a certain income level, and people receiving Supplemental Security Income are frequently automatically eligible.
Medicaid isn’t the same as Medicare. Medicare is available to people who are over the age of 65 and people with disabilities. You pay a monthly premium for Medicare based on your income, with lower-earning people paying lower premiums.
Resurge is one of the leading Medicaid drug rehab centers. Resurge offers the most comprehensive outpatient treatment among Ohio Medicaid drug rehab centers.

MEDICAID CAN PAY FOR REHAB
Does Medicaid Cover Treatment?
Medicaid is the biggest payer of mental health services in the country, and according to the federal government, it’s increasingly playing a bigger role in reimbursements for substance use disorder services.
The Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act made accessing treatment for mental health disorders and substance use disorders easier. This parity law prevents practices limiting coverage for behavioral and addiction treatment services. This law requires mental health and substance use disorder treatments and covered services to be no more restrictive than coverage available for medical and surgical conditions.
The parity requirement applies to copays and coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximums, care management tools, and limitations on how services can be used. Federal law requires Medicaid programs to comply with parity requirements.
The Affordable Care Act also requires that all insurance providers cover mental health and addiction treatment in ways that are similar to how they cover other conditions. They are essential health benefits under the ACA.
Substance use disorders affect millions of Americans, including those in the Medicaid program. It’s estimated that almost 12% of Medicaid beneficiaries who are 18 and older have a substance use disorder. Medicaid does often cover the costs of drug and alcohol treatment.
Substance use disorders are considered serious, complex diseases. When you’re addicted to drugs or alcohol, it’s a chronic condition affecting your physical and mental health, jobs, and relationships.
While Medicaid generally covers the costs of rehab services for addiction, there may be limitations in the coverage and variations in what’s available depending on your state. Medicaid also limits the covered services per year in many treatment categories. If you’re considering an inpatient treatment center, you can usually only stay between 30 and 60 days, but in Ohio, there are exceptions.
For some people, Medicaid is a secondary insurance, especially for seniors who have Medicare and qualify for secondary coverage.

What Types of Rehab Programs Will Medicaid Cover?
When someone has a substance use disorder, they might seek treatment on an inpatient or outpatient basis. Many people go through a continuum of care which helps with long-term recovery and reduces the risk of relapse. You might begin treatment in an inpatient rehab program in a continuum of care. Then, as you’re ready, you could move into less intensive levels of treatment.
In many cases, Medicaid will cover inpatient and outpatient rehab, although the specifics of what’s covered and the duration of treatment can vary quite a bit.

CAN I GO TO RESURGE RECOVERY?
Does Medicaid Cover Rehab?
While Medicaid technically covers mental health and addiction treatment services, the issue can often become finding a treatment program that accepts this as insurance coverage. Not every rehab facility will take Medicaid, but at Resurge, we do.
We are a Cincinnati addiction treatment center providing intensive outpatient and medication-assisted treatment. We work with patients in a flexible environment to help them achieve and maintain their sobriety and recovery.
During an intensive outpatient program at Resurge, you can anticipate spending around nine hours a week at the center. You might participate in individual counseling, like cognitive behavioral therapy, group therapy, and other supportive services during this time. Your treatment plan could also include family therapy. Therapy at Resurge focuses on many topics, including relapse prevention, creating and using a sober support system, and recovery strategies.
Medicaid may cover medication-assisted treatment, an approach to treating addiction that combines certain approved medicines with behavioral therapies. According to the government’s data on Medicaid spending, medical costs declined by an average of 30% with MAT. Total healthcare costs were 30% lower for people who received MAT versus those who didn’t. Additionally, the same data found that early interventions in the addiction cycle for people with substance use disorders can lower treatment needs and costs later on.
