MEDICAID

Medicaid is a public health care program funded by the state and federal government. Medicaid provides health care coverage to certain individuals with limited income. Residents of Ohio may receive health care coverage at little or no cost if they meet specific income and eligibility requirements.

Effective January 1, 2014, Ohio began offering the Medicaid Extension program under the expanded guidelines due to the Affordable Care Act (ACA). Under these new guidelines, low income adults without children may now be eligible for pubic health care.
