For people who are in need of medical care and do not have access to insurance, or earn a low income, the benefits of Medicaid assistance are amazing. Depending on the situation, Medicaid will help pay the bills in one of three ways:
- Provide insurance for families with low income, or people with disabilities.
- Provide long or short term homecare services for the elderly or disabled who need longer-term care.
- Offers additional coverage for people who are enrolled in Medicare but cannot afford the premiums and/or deductibles.
Medicaid is run by funds from the federal government and the state. If you are someone already receiving assistance from SSI, or TCA, you are in luck! You can automatically qualify for community Medicaid. Others who may qualify include:
- Families whose incomes fall below a certain level
- Children
- Women who are pregnant
- Breast cancer and cervical cancer patients.
- Elderly persons and people with disabilities.
- People facing very high hospital or medical care costs.
Not everyone qualifies for assistance, but there are many who can actually qualify and they might not know it. If you need Medicaid information or want help with your Medicaid applications, contact HPSNY and you might be even eligible for
homecare services – starting today!
