Medicaid Eligibility
Medicaid is a social welfare health and medical services program for low income individuals and families. The supervision of the program is at the federal level, but each state institutes their own standards for eligibility, regulates the services they provide (such as the types, amount and duration and scope), determines the equivalent rate for services and manages its own Medicaid program.
Eligibility guidelines differ from state to state, and although the program is aimed at helping people who belong in the low-income bracket, qualification may also depend on other factors such as age, pregnancy status, citizenship and disability status and caretakers of the disabled, elderly and children.
Generally, a person with limited income and resources should consider applying for Medicaid. Should you or a family member match one of the descriptions found below, consider applying for Medicaid. Seek for a qualified caseworker in your state for aid with evaluating your situation if you are unsure whether you are eligible or not, especially if you or someone in your family needs health care coverage.
