Medicaid provides health care coverage for people and families with limited incomes. It may also offer some services not covered by Medicare. Each state creates its own program, so contact your state Medicaid office for more information.
If you qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid, you are “dual eligible.” In this case, you keep your Medicaid benefits and may get additional benefits from Medicare. The two programs can work together to cover most of your health care costs.
