Over 50% of Aegis existing patients have their treatment paid in full by Medi-Cal, Medicare. Beginning in January 2014, the Affordable Care Act has transformed the way health care is provided and paid for in the United States that will affect all residents.


These changes include:   
The expansion of Medi-Cal eligibility to all individuals with annual income of less than $15,856 for a single person, $21,404 for a couple, $32,499 for families of four, and up to $54,689 for a family of eight. Most young adults and students in particular, would now qualify for Drug Medi-Cal coverage, and will not have to pay for treatment within Aegis. Californias Healthcare Exchange will require that HMOs and PPOs cover mental health and addiction treatment services as part of their essential benefit package. This means that for the first time, individuals enrolled in these private health insurance plans will be entitled to receive addiction treatment services at Aegis.

Since many of our rehab centers are sliding scale, we have provided the Federal Poverty Guidelines below. Visit the Aegis Merced website listed above to see what the level is needed for free care based on your income from the sliding fee scale.

Federal Poverty Guidelines for 2023

Persons In Family Household Poverty Guideline Salary per year

4 $30,000
5 $35,140

For Households with more than 8 persons, add $4,480 for each additional person.
*Alaska and Hawaii have different rates for HUD federal poverty guidelines.
These numbers above represent 100% of the Federal Poverty Rate. In order to get reduced or free treatment from some substance abuse centers, they use a sliding fee scale based on your income. When they use a sliding fee scale, the 100% rate can be different than 100%. In those cases, using for example a 200% federal poverty level, you will only need double the 100% number listed above to 200%.
