Medicaid provides health coverage to millions of Americans, including eligible low-income adults, children, pregnant women, elderly adults and people with disabilities. Medicaid is administered by states, according to federal requirements. The program is funded jointly by states and the federal government.
The process of applying for Medicaid insurance can seem overwhelming at first. However, with the proper documentation the process can go smoothly allowing you and your family members to receive medical care and prescription coverage.
To apply for Medicaid you will need to provide a variety of documents including proof of identity, income, age, citizenship, marital status and financial resources.
Forms of Identification
Applicants need to prove their identity with one of the following forms of identification: US Passport, Drivers License , School ID or United States Military Identification Card.
Proof
of Citizenship
An
individual must be a citizen of the United States in order to be
eligible for Medicaid benefits. Approved documents for proving
citizenship include a US Passport, Birth Certificate, Naturalization
Papers, Alien Registration Card or a Final Adoption Decree.
Financial Resources
You also will need to show how much money you’re bringing in and what you own at the time of your application. Income and expenses are an important factor in determining eligibility for Medicaid. Bank account statements, rent payments, child support and pay stubs are all documents which will be factored in determining Medicaid eligibility.
Medicaid provides 100 percent coverage for most medical expenses and does not require payment of premiums or deductibles. In addition, health care providers who accept Medicaid cannot bill the patient for any additional charges after Medicaid has adjudicated the claim.
