Medicaid
Medicaid is a joint Federal and state program that helps pay medical costs if you have limited income and resources and meet other requirements. Some people qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid (these people are called “dual eligibles”).
If you have Medicare and full Medicaid coverage, most of your health care costs are covered.
Medicaid programs vary by state. They may also be called by different names, like “Medical Assistance” or “Medi-Cal.”
People with Medicaid may get coverage for services that Medicare doesn’t fully cover, such as nursing home and home health care.

Each state has different Medicaid income and resource limits and other eligibility requirements.

In some states, you may need to apply for Medicare to be eligible for Medicaid.
Call your State Medical Assistance (Medicaid) office for more information and to see if you qualify. Call 1-800-MEDICARE, and say “Medicaid” to get the telephone number for your State Medical Assistance (Medicaid) office. You can also visit www.medicare.gov.
