Program Description
Nevada Medicaid is health insurance that helps many people who
can't afford medical care pay for some or all of their medical bills. This
program is available only to certain low-income individuals and families in
Nevada who fit into an eligibility group that is recognized by Federal and
state law. Medicaid does not pay money to you; instead, it sends payments
directly to your health care providers.

resident of the state of Nevada, a US national, citizen, permanent resident,

child(ren) under age 19, blind, have a disability or a family member in your
