What is Medicaid?

Medicaid is a Federal health insurance program which provides medical assistance to certain individuals and families with low incomes and limited resources. The plan offers health insurance for disables, the blind, the aged and selected families with dependent children.


Medicaid is generally the “payer of last resort”. This means that if a person has other health insurance coverage, Medicaid will become the secondary payer. Medicaid will pay only after that other health insurance pays.
