Medicaid Benefits You Might Not Know About
Medicaid Can Pay Medicare Premiums
Medicaid pays Medicare premiums, deductibles and coinsurance for Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries or individuals whose income is at or below 100% of the established Federal poverty level and whose resources are at or below twice the standard allowed under the SSI.
There are additional groups for whom Medicare related expenses are paid by Medicaid or Medicare beneficiaries with income greater than 100% but less than 135% of the Federal poverty level.
* Qualified Working Disabled People
* Individual States may also improve access to employment, training, and placement of people with disabilities who want to work through expanded Medicaid program eligibility.
Medicaid and Long-term Care
All states provide community Long-Term Care services for certain individuals who are Medicaid eligible and qualify for institutional care. Most states use eligibility requirements for such individuals that are more liberal than those normally used in the communities.
State Children's Health Insurance Programs
In addition to a state's Medicaid program, states have a health insurance program for children up to age 19 years of age, known as the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP).
In some states the program is part of the state's Medicaid program, in some states it is separate, and in some states it is a combination of both types of programs. These programs are for children whose parents have too many resources to be eligible for Medicaid, but not enough to buy private insurance.
Most of the states offer this insurance coverage to children in families whose income is at or below 200% of the Federal poverty level. However, because states have different income eligibility requirements, you need to find out about the program in your state.
