Medicaid is state and federally funded health care coverage. HCJFS administers Medicaid programs that provide health care coverage to:
  • Income-eligible parents and their children up to age 21

  • Preventive and treatment services up to age 21

  • Pregnant women

  • Older adults

  • Income-eligible people with disabilities

  • Children in foster care

Medicaid is very broad, with two major covered groups, Aged, Blind, and Disabled (ABD), and Covered Families and Children (CF&C).

There are several Medicaid programs:

  • Healthy Start is geared toward pregnant women and children up to age 19. Eligibility is based on income and family size.

  • Healthy Families helps children under age 19 and parents with incomes at or under 90 percent of the federal poverty level.

  • Healthchek provides preventive and treatment services for anyone eligible for Medicaid under age 21.
