What is Medicaid?

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program that provides health coverage to millions of low-income individuals and their families across the nation. Medicaid  is the single largest source of health coverage in the United States and, although Medicare is the primary medical coverage provider for the elderly, the Medicare and Medicaid programs work together to provide medical coverage to senior citizens. Florida Medicaid provides a broad level of health insurance that covers services including, but not limited to: doctor’s visits, hospital visits, home health care, hospice, nursing home services, dental services, vision services and prescription drugs. Both the state and the federal government share the cost of the Medicaid program. In Florida, Medicaid services are administered by the Agency for Health Care Administration.
