메디케이드는 자격 요건을 충족하는 저소득자를 위한 프로그램이며 주에 따라 적용 방법이 달라질 수 있습니다.

메디케어는 65세 이상의 노인, 장애인 또는 말기 신장병을 앓고 있는 사람들을 위한 연방정부의 건강 보험 프로그램입니다. 메디케어 자격 요건은 수입을 바탕으로 하지 않으며 기본 보상 범위는 주마다 동일합니다.

The following people may qualify for 플로리다 Medicaid if they meet certain financial requirements:

• Low-income families with children
• 임신한 여성
• Infants and children under the age of 21
• Recipients of Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
• People who are aged 65 or older
• People who are blind or expected to be disabled for at least a year
• People who need nursing home care or home and community-based care
• People who are on Medicare
• Aliens and refugees under a special assistance program (Emergency Medicaid)
• Individuals who are medically needy
• Call Choice Counseling at their toll-free helpline 1-877-711-3662 for more information.

People who have large monthly medical bills may be able to get Medicaid assistance even if their income and resources exceed the requirements for 플로리다 Medicaid eligibility. Their Medicaid eligibility is evaluated every month.

These Medicaid beneficiaries may have to pay a portion of their monthly medical costs before 플로리다 Medicaid will cover the rest of their medical bills. This is called "share of cost." The amount of the share depends on the patient's monthly income and medical expenses.

It is not necessary to have lived in 플로리다 for a certain length of time, but you need to be a resident of 플로리다. If you just moved to 플로리다 and were covered by Medicaid in another state, you will still need to apply for Medicaid in 플로리다. However, if you are a recipient of Supplemental Security Income (SSI) you can simply contact the Social Security Office to report your new address.

Applications for Medicaid are made through the 플로리다 Department of Children and Families (DCF). Applications are available on-line or by calling the DCF toll-free number 1-866-762-2237.

If you do not have a computer at home, check your local library, school, or community center for possible computer use and Internet access. Also, local service centers of the Department of Children and Families provide computers for filing an application.
