Program Description
The DC Medicaid programs pays the medical bills of certain DC
residents who have low incomes. If you are 65 or older or disabled, you may
be eligible. Also, you may be eligible if you are pregnant or have
children.
If your income is over the limit, you may still
be eligible. This is called Medicaid "Spend-Down". To get Medicaid under
Spend-Down, you must have a certain amount of medical bills.
