Medicaid health insurance for seniors

Seniors can get lower-cost insurance premiums with Medicaid

See if you qualify

Seniors who are on Medicare can qualify for lower-cost premiums and care through Medicaid. Many Medicaid plans for seniors run at very low cost to users.

Medicaid often covers Medicare Part B premiums, long-term and nursing home care, prescription drugs, hospital & doctor visits, and — in some states — vision, dental, and hearing care costs.

You can apply for Medicaid at any time, and as many times as you want per year. Each state runs its own Medicaid program, so don’t be surprised if your state’s program has a totally unique name.
