What is Medicaid?

The largest source of coverage in the U.S.

Millions of Americans rely on Medicaid for health coverage. Medicaid is jointly funded by the federal government and state, which means each state can set its eligibility requirements and covered services. No matter where you live, Medicaid includes certain benefits such as doctor visits, hospital stays, laboratory services and X-rays.

 


 

More than routine care. 

Medicaid covers more than prescriptions and regular medical visits. Depending on your plan, it may also include transportation assistance, dental, vision, hearing, behavioral health and long-term care services. Some plans, including Jefferson Health Plans EverWell, also provide extra wellness and transportation benefits to promote an all-around healthy lifestyle.

 


 

You can choose the plan for you.

Picking the right Medicaid plan is a personal decision. It’s important to consider the benefits and programs included in each plan to make the right choice for you and your family.
