Medicaid

Ikiwa unaomba Medicaid ya Idaho au unajaribu kudumisha bima yako, Huduma za Usaidizi wa Kisheria za Idaho zinaweza kusaidia. Tunatoa rasilimali na mwongozo kuhusu ustahiki wa watoto, wajawazito, watu wazima, wazee, na watu wenye ulemavu, ikiwa ni pamoja na sheria za mapato na mali. Utajifunza jinsi ya kutuma maombi, kukamilisha uboreshaji, na kurekebisha masuala ya kawaida ya hati. Tunaeleza cha kufanya ikiwa kesi yako itakataliwa au kufungwa, jinsi ya kuomba kusikilizwa kwa haki, na jinsi ya kuweka marupurupu unapokata rufaa katika baadhi ya hali. Pia utapata taarifa rahisi kuhusu utunzaji wa muda mrefu, matumizi, urejeshaji wa mali, na jinsi Medicaid inavyofanya kazi na Medicare na bima ya kibinafsi.

Medicaid helps pay for health care for people who fit within certain categories (such as being a child or elderly or disabled or pregnant) and whose income and assets fall within certain limits (which vary depending on which category a person fits within). Idaho's Medicaid program covers many items and services, including the full range of long-term care. 

Individuals who also qualify for Medicare coverage are able to use their Medicaid to pay for Medicare premiums, deductibles, and co-payments.

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare has created a Medicaid Protection FAQs page on their website to explain Medicaid dis-enrollments and how you can protect your access to Medicaid benefits. For more information on how to protect your Medicaid access, please see their Frequently Asked Questions page here: https://healthandwelfare.idaho.gov/medicaidprotection.

The Idaho Department of Health & Welfare has Medicaid programs available that provide health coverage for:

  • Children under 19 years of age
  • Parents or other related adults with children under 19
  • Pregnant women
  • Women diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer or pre-cancer
  • People aged 65 or older
  • People who are blind or disabled (using Social Security criteria)
