Medicaid is a government health insurance program that helps certain people get health care services at a lower cost. This includes people who are older, blind, or living with a disability. Medicaid pays for medical services such as:

- Inpatient and outpatient hospital services
- Prescription drug coverage (only available in certain cases)
- Lab tests
- X-rays
- Medical transportation
- Nursing home care
- Home health services
- Family planning services
To get benefits once you're enrolled, you must go to a health care provider that takes part in the Medicaid program.
