Learn about Medicaid

What is Medicaid?

Medicaid is a public health insurance plan for low-income people or people with disabilities. People of any age can be on Medicaid.

Medicaid is both a federal and state program. The federal government asks every state to give members the same set of benefits.

Each state runs its own Medicaid program and decides who is eligible. Some states will cover anyone below certain income levels, and each state has coverage options that may work for you. You may need to meet other requirements to qualify for Medicaid in your state.

Many states choose to partner with private insurance companies, like Humana, to support their Medicaid members with extra benefits and services.

Check with your state Medicaid plan to learn how to enroll.
