Medicaid provides health insurance coverage for individuals with disabilities, seniors, and those who require long-term care. The program supports people who may have limited income or significant medical needs by covering services such as doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription medications, therapy, and nursing home or in-home care.
Eligible individuals include adults 65 and older, individuals who are blind or disabled, and people who require long-term care services. Additionally, Medicaid may help cover Medicare Part B premiums for those who qualify, reducing out-of-pocket healthcare expenses.
