If your income and resources are limited, you may qualify for full coverage under Medicaid. Most of your health care costs are covered if you have both Medicare and full coverage from Medicaid. Medicaid is a joint Federal and state program that helps pay medical costs for some people with limited income and resources.
Medicaid programs vary from state to state. People with Medicaid may get coverage for services like nursing home care and home health care that aren’t fully covered by Medicare. For more information about Medicaid, call your State Medical Assistance (Medicaid) office. To get the telephone number, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
