Understanding Medicaid: What You Need to Know

Medicaid is a government-funded program that provides healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families who cannot afford private health insurance. It helps ensure that everyone has access to essential medical services, such as home care, veteran care, disability care, and more.

As a provider of veterans aid and attendant in Broward, Florida, we will break down what you need to know about Medicaid.

• Eligibility
  To be eligible for Medicaid, you must meet certain income and asset requirements, which vary by state. You must have an income below a certain level and limited assets. Certain groups, such as pregnant women, children, and people with disabilities, may have higher income and asset limits.
• Covered services
  Medicaid covers a wide range of medical services, including doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, and long-term care. In addition, Medicaid may also cover dental care, vision services, and other healthcare-related expenses.
• Application process
  To apply for Medicaid, you will need to fill out an application and provide proof of income and assets. You can apply for Medicaid through your state’s Medicaid agency, either online, by phone, or in person.
• Expansion
  Under the Affordable Care Act, some states have chosen to expand Medicaid to cover individuals with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level. This expansion has helped millions of Americans gain access to healthcare coverage.
