If you are currently on Medicaid, there are some scenarios in which you may soon be at risk of losing your coverage. Knowing your options can help ensure that you do not have a gap in health insurance coverage.
Medicaid is a health insurance program administered by the state and federal government, to provide health coverage for those who meet income restrictions or have qualifying medical needs. Medicaid can also be used alongside other health insurance coverages such as private health insurance, Medicare, etc.
The good news is that even those with very limited incomes can get low-cost health insurance or even free medical coverage through the Affordable Care Act’s Marketplace health insurance plans, often referred to as Obamacare, or through Nevada Medicaid.
While the number of Nevadans now using Medicaid coverage relieve some of the charity care expenses a hospital must absorb, it still does not cover all costs.
Medicaid is a joint State/Federal health insurance program that is administered by the State. It provides health coverage for low-income individuals.
