Frequently Asked Questions About Medicaid Coverage for Men's Addiction Treatment

How long does Medicaid cover treatment?

Utah Medicaid pays for addiction treatment as long as your doctor says you still need care. This can include short or long stays in rehab. If you still need help after the first approved time, your doctor can ask Medicaid to keep paying for more days.

Does Medicaid have out of pocket?

Most people on Utah Medicaid pay little or nothing for treatment. Some adults may have small copays, like a few dollars for medicine or doctor visits. But there are no copays for addiction or mental-health services, and Medicaid will never make you pay more than 5% of your family’s income.

Will I lose Medicaid when I get a job?

Getting a job doesn’t always mean you lose Medicaid. If you earn more money, you must tell Medicaid within 10 days. They’ll check if you still qualify. Some people can keep coverage for up to 12 more months through a special program called Transitional Medical Assistance.

What If I Get Denied Medicaid?

If your Medicaid application is denied, you can ask for a “fair hearing.” You usually have up to 90 days to appeal. If you win, Medicaid can even pay for past care up to three months before you first applied.

Does Utah Medicaid cover Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)?

Yes! Utah Medicaid covers medicines that help people recover from opioid addiction, like Suboxone, methadone, and Vivitrol. Counseling and therapy are also included. Most people don’t have to pay anything for treatment, and the program helps make recovery safe and affordable.
