Medicaid is a low-income health insurance program for people who can't afford private health insurance. Eligibility requirements vary by state. Non-citizens may qualify as well, but there may be certain conditions that must be met before they can be considered for Medicaid coverage. Medicaid covers low-income individuals, pregnant women, the elderly, and those with disabilities. While federal funds are used to administer the program, states manage it.

Cost of care at a nursing home

You should be aware that nursing home care is not covered by the state Medicaid program. Each state has its own income and asset limits. Medicaid pays approximately 90% of the nursing home fees. But you can still keep some of your income to meet personal expenses. Depending on where you live, the maximum income that you can keep per month is between $350- $700.
