Medicaid is a program run in conjunction with Federal and State governments to assist low income people with medical assistance. There are different levels of medicaid assistance and you must check to see if you qualify and which level you qualify. Those with the greatest need have the majority or all of their expenses paid.
If you are on medicare and eligible for medicaid there are plans that are called dual eligible plans for those that qualify for both medicaid and medicare. Medicare will pay first and then medicaid may assist with other costs.
Below are the phone numbers for each states office that handles medicaid assistance. You can call the number for your state and see if and what level of medicaid you qualify.
