Medicaid:
Medicaid is a state and federally funded health care coverage plan for low income or medically vulnerable people of all ages. There are two major groups, Covered Families and Children; and those who are Aged, Blind or have a Disability (ABD). In general, Medicaid provides comprehensive coverage for necessary health services.

Healthy Families provides coverage to the entire family and is available to families whose income is at or below 100% of the Federal Poverty Guideline. When family income exceeds the 100% standard, the family may be eligible for an additional 6 to 12 months of transitional coverage. Families receiving OWF are automatically eligible for Healthy Families.
Healthy Start provides coverage to children and pregnant women. Healthy Start covers children from birth through age 18, in families with income at or below the 200% Federal Poverty Guideline. Children in families with income between 150% and 200% of FPG must be uninsured in order to get Healthy Start. Pregnant women with family income up to 150% of FPG are also covered by the program.
Disability Assistance is state and county funded and provides medical coverage for certain persons ineligible for federally-supported public assistance programs.
Medicare Premium Assistance helps those with Medicare who have income too high to be eligible for the Medicaid card. In some cases, Medicaid may pay some or all of Medicare expenses including premiums, partial premiums, deductibles, or co-insurance. Medicare is federally funded and covers persons over age 65 and some persons of any age who have a disability.
