Medicaid provides health care treatment for confident people with restricted income who are eligible to partake in the program. Medicaid is a Federal-State program that is operated by the States. Each State sets its individual rules about eligibility and enclosed services. Many groups of people are qualified for Medicaid coverage.

Some of the factors affecting eligibility include age; whether you are pregnant, blind, or disabled; your income and possessions; and whether you are a U.S. citizen or legal immigrant. Your child may be eligible for coverage even if you are not. Eligibility for children is based on the child’s status, not the parent’s status. If your income is limited and you can’t pay for the care you need, you should submit an application for Medicaid whether or not you think you qualify. A qualified caseworker in your State will weigh up your situation to see if you are eligible for Medicaid.
