Medicaid
What is this program?
Medicaid is a joint Federal and state program that helps pay medical costs for some people with limited income and resources. Most of your health care costs are covered if you have Medicare and Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary from state to state. People with Medicaid may get coverage for services that aren't fully covered by Medicare, such as nursing home and home health care.
Who qualifies for this program?
The income limits for Medicaid vary from state to state. Contact your State Medical Assistance (Medicaid) office to see if you qualify.
