What is Medicaid?

Medicaid is a health insurance program for people with low income. Most people pay very little — and some pay nothing at all — for Medicaid. Pregnant women, children, adults, and people with disabilities may qualify for this type of health coverage.

What's covered under Medicaid

If you currently have Medicare coverage, you may still qualify for Medicaid coverage if you meet eligibility requirements.

Medicaid benefits include:

Doctor visits.

Hospital stays.

Medications.

Pregnancy care.

Checkups and immunizations for children.

Anthem is a health insurance plan that serves people who get Medicaid. We help our members get the care and services needed to get and stay healthy. Many Anthem plans have extra benefits, called value-added benefits. Some common value-added benefits are:*
Extra dental and vision coverage.
Free Boys & Girls Club memberships.
Rides to and from doctor visits, WIC visits, and other community locations.
 

*These value-added benefits may not be available for members in all plans.
