What is Medicaid

Medicaid is health care coverage for people with low incomes. Pregnant women, children, the elderly and people with a disability may qualify. Most Medicaid programs cover:

  • Hospital stays.
  • Doctor visits.
  • Care for expecting mothers.
  • Shots for children.
  • Tests and x-rays.

Each state has its own Medicaid rules. Please check with your state’s Medicaid program for more details.

Medicaid can help make health care more affordable.

Medicaid coverage is low cost or no cost to you. Check with your state's Medicaid office for more information.

The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is another option for some families. CHIP provides low-cost coverage for children whose parents make too much money to qualify for Medicaid.

More people than ever before may be eligible.

Even if you didn't qualify for Medicaid in the past, you may qualify under new rules.

You can apply for and enroll in Medicaid or CHIP at any time of year. If you qualify, your coverage can begin right away.
