Many older adults depend on federally- and state-funded Medicaid services for their primary medical and hospitalization insurance coverage. Medicare is separate from other federally- and/or state-funded programs with different eligibility requirements and service coverage. Medicaid may provide some differences in benefits dependent on state funding.
This program will help adult children understand Medicaid and its benefits to their aging parents so they may be more informed advocates for their parent’s health and medical care and service coverage.
