State-Funded Insurance (i.e. Medicaid)

Medicaid is a federal healthcare coverage program used by about 72 million Americans.⁴ The program exists primarily to serve low income adults and their children but is also offered to people with certain types of disabilities and to the elderly. It is a federal program and is partially federally funded, but each state administers Medicaid separately.⁴

Even if you have been turned down for Medicaid in the past and your circumstances are basically the same, you may be eligible now if you applied before the Affordable Care Act was passed. The Act raised the income and asset limits to allow more people in. Even though not all substance abuse facilities accept Medicaid, there are 235 in Wisconsin that do, or 86.1 percent of the centers in the state.¹
