Medicaid
Medicaid
is a joint federal/state funded health care program
that provides health care services to eligible persons
in need. States are given wide discretion about whom
to cover and what services they provide.
While
income effects Medicaid eligibility, people with disabilities
who receive Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are
eligilble. Medicaid eligibility is important because
it is the primary way some states fund home and community-based
and residential services for people with disabilities
of all ages. Additionally, Medicaid's Community Care
Waivers may also allow some individuals with disabilities
to receive Medicaid services who might not otherwise
meet the state's Medicaid financial requirments.
The
Medicaid EPSDT program is important to children with
disabilities because it provides a full array of "medically
necessary" health care services.
