People with substance abuse problems often depend on Medicaid to
pay for treatment. Health Care Reform, as specified in the Patient
Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010, will increase the
importance of Medicaid as a payment system for chemical dependency
care. Now entering its second 50 years, Medicaid is a unique
partnership of federal and state agencies financing health care
services for low income people. This book is an invaluable resource
for patients, family members, clinicians, administrators, and
policy-makers concerned about ways to pay for addiction treatment.
Written by national experts, the book summarises the provisions of
Medicaid of most relevance to substance abuse treatment, reviews
the pertinent history of this complex and ever changing program,
and describes key findings from numerous "natural experiments" such
as the implementation of Medicaid managed behavioural health care
as well as cutbacks in Medicaid coverage.
