Where do I go if I am interested in getting Medicaid?

If you are interested in getting Medicaid, go to:

Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Web site: www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicaidGenInfo

Medicaid is a federally funded, state-run program that helps people and families who have very limited incomes and resources. It pays for health care costs, including doctor visits, hospital visits, and prescription drugs. Income cut-offs, asset limits, and benefits vary from state to state. In some states, it may have different names (TennCare, Medi-Cal, etc.) Contact your State Health Department by phone for more information. (It is listed in the blue pages of your local phone book.) You can find your local office by visiting.
