Medicaid is a jointly funded federal and state medical assistance program that provides health coverage for low-income Americans with limited assets. Low-income individuals who are either aged (65 or older) or disabled are granted SSI-Related Medicaid. Medicaid programs for the elderly and disabled assists in covering various long-term care services. The Medicaid long-term care program ensures that people who cannot afford the high level of care they need are still able to receive it. Seniors who meet their state’s financial eligibility requirements and have a documented medical need for nursing home level care should qualify for Medicaid coverage of their nursing home costs. It is also imperative to know that Florida residents who are eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are automatically eligible for Medicaid coverage from the Social Security Administration.
This program provides:
– Health care services
– Dental care services
– Long-term care supports (Nursing home and residential care)
– In-home or assisted living services
