Am I eligible for Medicare or Medicaid?

If you are accepted as disabled by the Social Security Administration (SSA) you will be eligible for Medicare. If you are disabled and under the age of 65, your medical bills are covered by the state Medicaid program for the first two years after you become disabled. During this time you may select coverage under an approved Medicaid HMO to reduce co-pays or out-of-pocket expenses. Your minor children and dependents may also be entitled to Medicaid coverage after you are determined disabled.
