Medicaid - Alabama

How can this program help me?

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:

• Visits to health care providers (including physicians and nurse practitioners)
• 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.
