Do you accept Medicaid?

Unfortunately, Medicaid does not cover our program, due to current federal laws Medicaid will only cover programs with 16 beds or less. If you are in need of a program that works with Medicaid the best thing to do would be to call Medicaid directly and they should be able to give you a list of facilities they work with. We would also recommend contacting your state representative and asking them to support The Road to Recovery Act which would help make residential addiction treatment more accessible to those with Medicaid that need it.

With the waiver President Trump signed do you now accept Medicaid? The bill’s largest expenditure allows states to use their Medicaid program for a five-year period to cover care in institutions for mental diseases (IMD). This “IMD exclusion” had prohibited Medicaid from reimbursing for residential or inpatient care at facilities with more than 16 beds. Over the five years that states can use this option, the CBO estimates it will cost $1 billion. This provision generated intense debate. Some lawmakers wanted broader repeal of the Medicaid IMD exclusion, while others registered fiscal objections or expressed concern about the risk that it would turn back the clock toward the use of institutionalization rather than community-based care.

Hi Vicki, I am sorry to say that we are unable to work with Medicaid at this time. If you are in need of a program that Medicaid will cover I would reccomend giving them a call directly and asking for a list of facilities that they work with as they are currently only able to work with certain programs at this time.
