Frequently Asked Questions!
There are several things that differentiate these two programs; however, one of the most significant differences is who administers each program. Original Medicare (Part A and Part B) is solely the responsibility of the United States federal government. At the same time, Medicaid programs are operated by both the federal government and each state, respectively.
- Medicare: This is a federal program that provides health coverage if you are 65 or older or under 65 and have a disability, no matter your income.
- Medicaid: This is an assistance program for individuals and families with limited income and resources. Medicaid is run jointly by federal and state governments, and eligibility varies by state.
Medicaid is an assistance program. It is for anyone eligible under the state guideline, usually based on a person's income and overall resources. This generally means that individuals on Medicaid do not usually pay for medical services covered under the program.
The simple answer to this question is yes. Medicare beneficiaries can be enrolled in their state’s Medicaid program if deemed dual-eligible. If you believe that this applies to you, the professionals at Fika Insurance Group can help you determine whether you qualify for both and can help you enroll in a plan that fits your needs.
For low-income individuals on Medicare, Medicaid will cover some additional types of prescription medications and other kinds of care. It is also important to note that, for those who have dual Medicare and Medicaid status, a considerable amount of your healthcare expenses would most likely be covered at little to no cost. Additionally, in some cases, depending on the situation, Medicaid will enroll you into a Medicare Savings Program (MSP), which will cover various other costs, including Medicare Part B premiums and Medicare Part A deductibles, co-insurance, and co-payments.
