This is the first step, and is the most important of all requirements.  You have to assure that you are found eligible by your state for the Medicaid program.  During the day you will receive your treatment, you will have to show proof of eligibility.  It is only then that Medicaid will shoulder the expense for your treatment.  In addition to checking if you are eligible for the program, you also have to make sure that the healthcare provider that you are acquiring services from honors Medicaid recipients.  Call ahead for an appointment and ask this information ahead of time, so that you can eliminate the possibility of issues upon arriving there for your treatment.
