How can this program help me?

This program lets you get Medicaid benefits even if your income is higher than Medicaid program guidelines. It works by letting you spend down your income so that you meet Medicaid income limits. The spend-down amount is the amount of income that is over the Medicaid limit. This amount is different for each person.

To get Medicaid benefits, you must submit current paid or unpaid medical bills equal to or greater than your monthly spend-down amount. Once your medical bills reach this amount, you will get Medicaid coverage for the rest of the calendar month. While using Medicaid to pay for your medical expenses, you should use a health care provider who takes part in the Medicaid program.
