Program Description
The Medicaid Program provides medical benefits to low income
individuals without medical insurance or adequate medical insurance. The
Federal government establishes general guidelines for the administration of
Medicaid benefits. However, specific eligibility requirements to receive
Medicaid benefits, as well as the type and scope of services provided, are
determined by each individual State. Thus, a person who is eligible for
Medicaid in one State may not qualify in another State. You must check with
the Medicaid office in the State of Indiana to confirm your eligibility to
receive benefits.
General Program Requirements
In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a
resident of the State of Indiana, a US national, citizen or permanent
resident in need of health care/insurance assistance, whose financial
situation would be characterized as low income or very low income . If very
low income, you must also be pregnant, have a child(ren) with a disability,
or be responsible for children under the age of 19 years.
