Description
Medicaid is a public health insurance program that covers over 72 million people, including many people with mental health conditions, as well as pregnant women, children, people with disabilities, working families and veterans. Forty percent of non-elderly adults on Medicaid have a mental health (MH) condition or substance use disorder (SUD). Medicaid is a lifeline for many people with MH/SUD.
Medicaid:
• Pays for 1 in 4 dollars spent on vital MH/SUD treatment in the U.S. each year
• Provides coverage to 1 in 3 people with mental illness
• Allows more people with serious mental illness to access MH/SUD services and
• Prevents people from delaying or skipping necessary health and mental health care
