Medicaid Application: Can You Apply for Medicaid Online?

In today’s society, having no health insurance at all will seem like trekking the Sahara desert with no water or climbing a 500 wall with no safety equipments. Health insurance is considered to be a man’s modern day life saver. So, why are there so many people out there who don’t have any form of health insurance?

The answer to this is quite simple. Either they don’t want one or they simply just can’t afford the premiums that private insurance companies offer their clients. Because of this problem, thousands of Americans don’t get the proper medical care they need. The fact that medical care is very expensive nowadays, you too would have problems paying for it if the need arises. In fact, even people with decent income got into debt because of high medical bills.

So, what if you are one of the low level income individuals who find it hard to even pay the rent or purchase even the simplest food? If ever you or a member of your family needs medical care, you would definitely have problems paying for the medical bills.

This is why the state and federal government offer a health insurance program designed for low income individuals just like you. This health insurance program is called Medicaid.

First of all, Medicaid is a state and federal government funded health insurance program that provides free health insurance for individuals or families with low income levels. In the past, Medicaid concentrated purely on low income families and the needy. However, over the years and because of the constant changes in the Medicaid eligibility rules and requirements in every state, children living with low income families, the elderly and the disabled may now become eligible for Medicaid.

You have to remember that although this program is created by the federal government, the state government are the ones that decides who is eligible for this health care program.

However, the eligibility rules and requirements set by the state government are always in accordance with the standards set by the federal government.

Applying for Medicaid is quite easy. Today, thanks to the internet, you can even do it online. Medicaid online application can prove to be convenient as you don’t actually have to go to the nearest department that provides Medicaid, whether it is next door or miles away from your home. All you need to do is visit the website of the Medicaid program your state have and click on apply online.

The step-by-step online application will provide you with all the necessary instructions to successfully apply for Medicaid. Also, the great thing about it is that you will have a chance to take a closer look at the eligibility rules and requirements regarding the Medicaid program offered in your state.

This means that you don’t actually have to travel just to know whether you are eligible or not. All you have to do is fill in the blanks, email your application and wait for a reply from the department responsible for handling Medicaid application in your state.

However, you have to remember that you will need to provide proof of your income level. This will require you to mail it to the department responsible for handling your Medicaid application. Once the process is complete, all you need to do is wait for your identification card to be mailed to your home. This is what you will show to hospitals, pharmacy and other health institutions in order to get the benefits that Medicaid offers.

    Why are you people telling your story? It’s not like social workers are going to come on here and help you…. goodness. Don’t you get it? They don’t want to help. They just want to sit on their fat a**es and admire their cat-covered cubical all day while they make money by not doing their effing job. Eff the social workers and eff the government. They’ll all get what they deserve someday.

  • Connie Pilkington says:

    I have applied for medicaid. I am disabled and cannot work. I have been denied. They say I do not have children under the age of 19. I have one child born in 1992 and one in 1996. Unless my math is wrong they are both under the age of 19. Can someone send me a form on line so I can fill it out again. I have sent copies of their Birth Certificates and I have still been denied. If I could work I would, but I have a back injury that prevents me from working. Thanks for your time.
