Can someone be denied coverage? Yes, if they don’t meet income, asset, or medical eligibility criteria.
What if my financial or medical situation changes? You must report changes to the state.
Healthcare costs can be overwhelming, especially for low-income individuals, families, and people with disabilities. To address this issue, the Medicaid program was established in 1965, providing affordable health coverage through federal and state funding. While each state administers Medicaid, the federal government helps fund the program.
Income & Assets: Eligibility is based on household income and asset limits, which vary by state.
Medical Conditions: Coverage may include chronic illnesses, disabilities, and mental health conditions based on state-specific guidelines.
Application Process: Underwriting typically takes a few weeks, requiring income proof, medical history, and citizenship verification.
