Medical Assistance HELP SEARCH HIGHLIGHTS GENERAL INFORMATION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES WELFARE REFORM PUBLICATIONS PRESS RELEASES LOCATIONS   Medical Assistance The department provides medical assistance to low income persons and people who could otherwise support themselves if not for the fact that they have excessive health care costs. Assistance is provided through a variety of programs and administrative functions. Information for health care providers enrolled or interested in more detailed information regarding the Connecticut Medical Assistance Program can be found at www.ctmedicalprogram.com or here .   Medicaid for the Employed Disabled The Medicaid for the Employed Disabled program was authorized by The Ticket to Work and Work Incentives Improvement Act of 1999 . Its implementation in Connecticut is mandated under Public Act 00-213 Work Incentives for Persons with Disabilities. The program allows persons with a disability to engage in employment without risking eligibility for needed medical services through the Medicaid program. The program also allows certain individuals to keep other necessary services needed to remain employed. In general an eligible person with a disabling condition who is employed, can qualify for Medicaid without the use of spenddown while earning income in excess of traditional income limits. Medicaid The Medicaid program provides for remedial, preventive, and long term medical care for income eligible aged, blind or disabled individuals, and families with children. Payment is made directly to health care providers, by the department, for services delivered to eligible individuals. The program complies with federal Medicaid law (Title XIX of the Social Security Act) and regulations in order to receive 50% reimbursement from the federal government. Individuals may meet Medicaid eligibility requirements in a number of ways. Individuals or families who meet the income and asset eligibility criteria in effect for Aid To Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) on July 16, 1996 or the State Supplement program are eligible for Medicaid. In addition, individuals who meet all the eligibility requirements, with the exception of income, may be eligible if the amount of medical expenses owed is greater than the amount by which their income exceeds the established income standards. Children born after Sept. 30, 1980 whose family income is less than 185% of the poverty level, and pregnant women whose income is less than 185% of the poverty level are also eligible. The Medicaid program objectives are supported by certain key services provided to recipients: HealthTrack provides education regarding access to health care for Medicaid recipients under 21 eligible for Medicaid. "Home and community-based care" waivers allow for the provision of certain non-medical services in order to avoid more costly institutionalization of individuals. The department is also working with schools to expand the availability and accessibility of school-based medical care for Medicaid eligible students. Download the Medicaid Brochure Connecticut Insurance Assistance Program for AIDS Patients (CIAPAP) This program assists individuals who are unable to continue working and risk losing group medical insurance because of AIDS or an AIDS-related disease. Medical insurance premiums premiums are paid on behalf of eligible individuals who qualify for and who elect to continue their group medical insurance coverage for the time period allowed under state or federal law. Download the CIAPAP Brochure Connecticut Aids Drug Assistance (CADAP) This program pays for drugs determined by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to prolong the life of people with AIDS, or HIV infection. To be eligible for the program in Connecticut, an individual must have a physician certification that the individual has HIV infection, HIV disease or AIDS, must not be a recipient of Medicaid, and must have net countable income within 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. In addition, the individual must apply for Medicaid within two weeks of approval for this program. The department receives federal funding for the program under Ryan White Title II grants that are awarded to the Department of Public Health and Addiction Services. In addition, there are General Fund appropriations in order to continue the program when the annual federal grant funds awarded to the Department are exhausted. View the CADAP Application on our Publications page Healthy Start Under this program, grants are made to hospitals, clinics, departments of health and other organizations to expand and enhance health services to low income pregnant women and children, and to assist women in obtaining Medicaid coverage for themselves and their children. Healthy Start contracts are jointly administered by the Department of Social Services and the Department of Public Health and Addiction Services. Connecticut Home Care Program This program assists frail elderly people to avoid unnecessary or premature institutionalization through the provision of community-based services. The range of services covered includes home health services and such community-based services as homemaker, chore person and companion, adult day care and meals on wheels. These services are paid for by third party sources, such as Medicare or private insurance, and by the clients themselves whenever possible. State and federal funds are used only as a last resort to purchase services. ConnPACE The Connecticut Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract to low income Elderly Disabled program (ConnPACE) assists eligible individuals in meeting the cost of prescription drugs. To be eligible an individual must have an income below $14,500. Couples must have incomes below $17,500. In addition, recipients must be age 65 or older or determined to be disabled for Social Security purposes. View the ConnPACE Application on our Publications page ConnMAP The Connecticut Medicare Assignment Program (ConnMAP) ensures that eligible Medicare enrollees are charged no more than the reasonable and necessary rate established by the federal government for Medicare covered services received from health care providers. Individuals who are residents of Connecticut, enrolled in Medicare Part B, and have incomes no greater than 165% of the income limits for the Connecticut Pharmaceutical Assistance (ConnPACE) Program (currently 13,800 if single or 17,800 for couples) are eligible to participate in the program. ConnPACE program participants are automatically eligible for ConnMAP. State-Administered General Assistance (SAGA) - Medical Aid: The Department completed its assumption of the General Assistance program, formerly administered by the State’s 169 municipalities, on July 1, 1998. (Only the City of Norwich continues to administer the General Assistance program locally. General Assistance medical eligibility rules differ from those of the SAGA program; however, covered services are almost identical.) Under the SAGA program, the department provides medical assistance to low-income persons who do not qualify for or are awaiting eligibility determinations from other state and/or federal programs. SAGA provides all services covered under the Medicaid program, with the exceptions of long-term care and home and community-based waiver services. Behavioral health services to SAGA substance abusers and persons with mental illness are managed through the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS). There are no categorical eligibility requirements; eligibility is based solely on income and assets. Applicants must be citizens or qualified aliens; sponsor’s income is deemed for entrants following December 1997. Applicants/recipients must also pursue all potential third-party benefits, including SSI and Medicaid, in order to qualify. Income limits are equal to the Medicaid Medically Needy Income Limit (MNIL), which varies according to the size of the assistance unit and the region of the state in which the assistance unit resides (e.g., as of January 2000, $476.19 per month for a single person living in Region B). Individuals who have excess income may become eligible through "spend-down," i.e., when their incurred medical bills equal the amount of their excess income. The asset limit is $1,000 per assistance unit regardless of the size of the group. Automobile equity may not exceed $4,500.  Real property is subject to a lien or security mortgage. Approximately 17,500 individuals receive SAGA medical assistance. Refugee Medical Assistance: The refugee medical assistance program provides medical assistance to needy individuals, families and children designated as refugees under Immigration and Naturalization Service regulations who are not eligible to receive benefits from any other public assistance program. Benefits continue for a maximum of eight months beginning with the month of entry into the United States. Benefits are the same as in the Medicaid program, and are 100% federally funded. Certificate of Need The department is the certificate of need authority for Connecticut for nursing homes and home health agencies. Rate Setting The department sets rates that can be charged by hospitals, home health agencies, nursing homes and licensed boarding homes.   [ Home ] [ Subject Index ] [ General Information ] [ Programs & Services ] [ Welfare Reform ] [ Publications ]  [ Press Releases ] [ Locations ] [ Search ] [ Help ] [ Feedback ] [ Highlights ] [ Request Information ] [ Contact Us ] Copyright ©1995-2002 State of Connecticut Department of Social Services .

Medical Programs Nevada Division of Welfare MEDICAL PROGRAMS Welfare Home       E&P Home       Food Stamps        TANF MAABD Manual     Eligibility & Payments Manual     Search our Site INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY MEDICAL INSURANCE What happens to you or a family member when you need medical attention? What do you do? The Nevada Department of Human Resources offers medical insurance through a number of programs for individuals and families. Some of this coverage is free to you, and some requires a small fee. The services provided may include doctor visits, prescriptions, dental care, eye exams and glasses, therapies, to name a few.   Who you gonna call? Let’s begin with you. Did you really know all this could be available to you? Now, what about your family? There are four different ways your family could qualify for medical insurance in Nevada.   There are several groups related to the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program which receive medical assistance only (no cash) referred to as TANF-Related Medical Only cases. These TANF-related medical groups are: Medicaid coverage for persons who qualify to receive cash assistance, but choose to receive medical benefits only, or who are ineligible to receive cash assistance due to TANF time limits; Medicaid coverage for persons who cannot receive TANF or assistance through the Child Health Assurance Program (CHAP) due to income from an individual who is not their parent or spouse; Emergency medical assistance on a month-by-month basis for all illegal or other non-citizens not covered in other eligible categories. These applicants must meet TANF or CHAP requirements except for citizenship; Medicaid for any pregnant woman eligible for the program in any month of her pregnancy continues for pregnancy-related and postpartum coverage during the course of her pregnancy regardless of changes in her income; Medicaid for the first year of life for any newborn of a Medicaid eligible pregnant woman regardless of income changes; TANF prior medical coverage is available up to three (3) months prior to the TANF application month if the client/family received medical services during this time. Eligibility is determined on a month-by-month basis; and Medical assistance when TANF ends is available as follows: a) Medicaid assistance continues for up to twelve (12) months for households which become ineligible for TANF assistance due to the increased earned income of the caretaker OR loss of a disregard (exclusion) in the budgeting process; and b) Medicaid assistance continues for up to four (4) months for households which become ineligible for TANF assistance due to child support collected through the agency.  For an application form you can print out from your computer and fill out at home, follow the **links below for the applications **You MUST HAVE Adobe ® Acrobat Reader to access this form.

Nevada Check Up Nevada Check Up is a new state Children’s Health Insurance Program that provides affordable comprehensive health care coverage to uninsured children of low-income families who are not covered by private insurance or Medicaid. The goal of Nevada Check Up is to provide preventive and comprehensive health care coverage for Nevada’s uninsured children. Medical insurance for yourself may also be covered by the Medical Assistance for the Aged, Blind and Disabled (MAABD) program. It is a medical services only program. You can qualify by being eligible for a means-tested public assistance program (i.e., Supplemental Security Income [SSI]) or by having Medicare. The various categories of eligible persons are: Supplemental Security Income (SSI) recipients; Nursing facility residents with gross monthly income up to 300% of the SSI payment level (State Institutional Cases); Individuals can receive medical coverage for up to three (3) months prior to their application if they apply for or would be eligible for any of the MAABD categories; Certain individuals who have lost SSI eligibility, but would still be eligible if some of their income were disregarded (Public Law Cases); Disabled children who require medical facility care, but can appropriately be cared for at home; Aged or physically disabled individuals who require medical facility care, but can appropriately be cared for at home, and aged individuals who have been residing in nursing facilities who can appropriately be cared for in adult group care facilities (Home and Community-Based Waivers); and Non-citizens who do not meet citizenship eligibility criteria who have emergency medical services may qualify for some (not all) Medicaid services.   Medicare Beneficiaries If you have Medicare, you could also qualify for benefits as a participant of the Medicare Beneficiaries program. Coverage provided by this program is different than other coverage groups in that it does not provide the full scope of medical insurance benefits. The five groups of individuals described below comprise the Medicare Beneficiaries population: Qualified Medicare Beneficiaries (QMBs) are Medicare recipients who have income at or below 100% of the federal poverty level. Medicaid pays for their Medicare premiums, co-insurance and deductibles on Medicare covered services. Eligibility begins the month following the month the decision is made. Special Low Income Medicare Beneficiaries (SLMB) are Medicare recipients with income between 100% - 120% of federal poverty level. Medicaid pays their Medicare Part B medical insurance premium. Eligibility begins with the application month with three (3) months of prior medical coverage available. Qualifying Individuals 1 (QI-1s) are Medicare recipients with income of at least 120%, but less than 135% of federal poverty level. Medicaid pays their Medicare Part B medical insurance premium. Funding is 100% federal up to the state allocation. Eligibility begins with the application month with three (3) months of prior medical coverage available. Qualifying Individuals 2 (QI-2s) are Medicare recipients with income of at least 135%, but less than 175% of federal poverty level. Medicaid will pay the recipient for the portion of Medicare Part B premium that is attributable to the shift of some home health benefits from Medicare Part A to Part B. The amount in 2000 is $2.87 per month. Payments will be made in December for the calendar year. Funding is 100% federal up to the state allocation. Eligibility begins with the application month with three months of prior medical coverage available. Qualified Disabled Working Individuals (QDWIs) have their Medicare Part A hospital insurance premiums paid by Medicaid. Back to top Who you gonna call? Don't know which office?

CMS runs Medicare, the nation's largest health insurance program, covering nearly 40 million Americans at a cost of just under $200 billion. Medicare provides health insurance to: people age 65 or older; some people with disabilities under age 65; and people with permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a transplant. What are the benefits? Medicare has two parts: Hospital Insurance (Part A) and Medical Insurance (Part B). Medicare Part A helps pay for inpatient hospital services, skilled nursing facility services, home health services, and hospice care. Medicare Part B helps pay for doctor services, outpatient hospital services, medical equipment and supplies, and other health services and supplies. Many Choices for Getting Benefits People who qualify for Medicare may have choices beyond the traditional Original Medicare Plan. Some people may have Medicare Managed Care Plans or Private Fee-for-Service Plans available in their area. These options are health plans offered by private insurance companies. Check medicare.gov for a listing of options available in a given geographical area. Where to Apply Medicaid Medicaid is a health insurance program for certain low-income people. It is funded and administered through a state-federal partnership. Although there are broad federal requirements for Medicaid, states have a wide degree of flexibility to design their program. States have authority to: establish eligibility standards; determine what benefits and services to cover; set payment rates. Who Qualifies? On any given day, there are about 33 million people who are eligible for Medicaid. These people include: certain low-income families with children; aged, blind or disabled people on Supplemental Security Income; certain low-income pregnant women and children; and people who have very high medical bills. What are the Benefits? Because states have flexibility in structuring their Medicaid programs, there are variations from state to state. All states, however, must cover these basic services: inpatient and outpatient hospital services; laboratory and X-ray services, skilled nursing and home health services, doctors' services; family planning; and periodic health checkups, diagnosis and treatment for children. Where to apply? People can generally apply for Medicaid at local welfare or social service offices. Many states have now made it possible to apply in other locations, such as hospitals and public health clinics, or in some cases by mail. State Children's Health Insurance Program ( SCHIP ) CMS , along with the Health Resources and Services Administration, runs the Children's Health Insurance Program. Program benefits became available October 1, 1997, and will provide $24 billion in federal matching funds over 5 years to help states expand health care coverage to as many as 5 million of the nation's uninsured children. Who Qualifies? States set eligibility and coverage, following broad federal guidelines. States also have flexibility in the way they provide services. Recipients in all states must have low incomes, be otherwise ineligible for Medicaid, and be uninsured. What are the Benefits? State programs differ, but all states must cover at least these services: inpatient and outpatient hospital services, doctors' surgical and medical services, laboratory and X-ray services, and well baby/child care, including immunizations. Some states may provide additional benefits. Benefits are not yet available in all States. Where to Apply? People can apply for Children's Health Insurance Program benefits at state welfare offices, state public health departments, and state social service agencies. Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) The Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 (CLIA) established quality standards for all laboratory testing to ensure the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of patient test results regardless of where the test was performed. A laboratory is defined as any facility that performs laboratory testing on specimens derived from humans for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment of disease, or impairment of, or assessment of health. CMS is charged with the implementation of CLIA, including laboratory registration, fee collection, certificate generation, surveys, surveyor guidelines development and training, enforcement, financial management, and finally, approvals of proficiency testing providers, accrediting organizations and exempt states. The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for test categorization. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is responsible for the CLIA studies, convening the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments Committee (CLIAC) and provides scientific and technical support to CMS. Who Qualifies/Is Subject to CLIA Requirements? CLIA requires all entities that perform even one test (including tests waived under CLIA and those not billed to Medicare) on specimens derived from humans for the purposes of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment of disease, or impairment of, or assessment of the health of a human being to meet applicable Federal requirements. The CLIA requirements are based on the complexity of the tests performed. The more complex the test, the more stringent the requirements. What are the Benefits? The objective of the CLIA Program is to ensure the quality of laboratory testing for all individuals tested, regardless of where the test is performed. Data from CLIA inspections and proficiency testing reflect that laboratories have improved performance over time and that CLIA facilitates that improvement using an educational approach. Where to Apply? CMS has made available the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments of 1988 Application for Certification, Form HCFA-116 . This form should be completed and returned to the address of the local State Agency for the State in which the laboratory performing the test(s) resides.   Last Modified on Wednesday, April 24, 2002   63.241.27.78 Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services 7500 Security Boulevard, Baltimore MD 21244-1850 Phone: 410-786-3000 Health and Human Services | Privacy & Security | Accessibility | Help | Sitemap | Medicare.gov

Support for Working Families     The New Jersey Department of Human Services has dedicated much effort to ensuring that working families obtain the supports and resources they need to achieve and maintain self-  sufficiency. This includes helping families who are making a transition from welfare to work. Supports, such as help accessing transportation, medical insurance, child care and housing services are critically important to low-income, working families. The Division of Family Development is the Department’s primary source of information and referral to   services for most of these families. Services include the following: Child Care services are coordinated by the Department, in cooperation with Unified Child Care Agencies in every county. Services include information and referral to help parents locate child care resources and to answer typical questions regarding types of child care, how to pay for care, and even how to become a family day care provider. Child support services are coordinated by the Department to help custodial parents receive child support payments that, for one reason or another, they are not obtaining from the children’s non-custodial parent. Home Energy Assistance - The Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) provides subsidies to help low-income families and individuals pay for home heating costs or heating bills associated with rent. Households may also be eligible for medically-necessary cooling assistance, or for energy funds on an emergency basis. Kinship care is provided by grandparents and other relatives who care for their family member’s child(ren). The Kinship Navigator Program is an information and referral program, established to help relatives navigate their way through the various governmental systems to find the local supports they need, including support groups, cash assistance, medical coverage, housing assistance, child care resources, and respite services. In addition to the navigator service, monthly subsidies are available to eligible kinship caregivers. New Jersey Family Care provides free or low-cost health insurance to low-income working families and their children. Those eligible for the program include parents with incomes up to 200% of the federal poverty level, and children in families earning up to 350% of the federal poverty level. The NJ Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) , based on the federal EITC, provides a fully refundable credit to help boost the paychecks of low-income families. Working families who receive the federal EITC and earn less than $20,000 annually, are eligible for the NJ EITC. Refugee Services – The Refugee Resettlement Program (RRP) provides eight months of cash and medical assistance for refugees who flee from their countries due to persecution or the threat of it. RRP is open to single or childless adults; all other eligible refugees can receive assistance through Work First New Jersey. Transportation Assistance (for families entering the workforce) – For working families who need help in commuting to and from the workplace, the state and counties offer free or subsidized bus/train passes , as well as alternate transportation in areas not adequately served by public transportation. Work First New Jersey is the state’s public assistance program, designed to help families move to self-sufficiency by offering them a full array of supports, from child care, health insurance and transportation, to substance abuse treatment and emergency funds. Recipients face a five-year lifetime limit on cash assistance, and must become employed or take part in work activities.   Home | State of New Jersey Home Page This Site Best Viewed With This Browser Click Here to Start     © 2000 New Jersey Department of Human Services.

Healthy Start - CHIP Enacted by the U.S. Congress in August 1997, the state Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is designed primarily to help children in working families with incomes too high to qualify for Medicaid but too low to afford private family coverage. All states and the District of Columbia offer health coverage through CHIP and Medicaid. Who's eligible? Currently, there are more than 9 million children in the United States without health care coverage, 5.8 million of whom are eligible for either CHIP or Medicaid. Close to 90 percent of these uninsured children have at least one parent who works, but for many of these families, affordable health coverage is not offered through their employer. Each state can set its own income eligibility level. Most states have set the maximum eligibility level at 200% of the federal poverty level (FPL), which means that children under age 19 in a family of four with income up to $36,200 a year may qualify. Federal poverty guidelines for 2002 have been released. To find out if your child(ren) qualifies for free or low-cost health insurance, click here . What do children receive once they are enrolled? Although benefits vary from state to state, children generally are eligible for the following services: regular checkups immunizations eyeglasses doctor visits prescription drug coverage hospital care To learn more about CHIP, go to www.hcfa.gov/init/kidssum.htm. Established in 1965, the Medicaid program is a federal-state partnership that assists states in providing medical services to eligible, low-income individuals. Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for low-income people in the United States. For each state's Medicaid program, the state establishes its own eligibility standards and determines who is eligible as well as the type, amount, length, and range of services; sets the rate for payment for services; and manages its own program. Therefore, a person who is eligible for Medicaid in one state may not be eligible in another state, and the services provided in one state may differ from those of another state. Fall 2001 (PDF: 514K) This Issue: Less Red Tape Equals More Healthy Children; The Child Tax Credit; A Shining Success in the Lone Star State Medicaid covers all services that a doctor or other health care professional identifies as being "medically necessary." Who's eligible? Although eligibility varies from state to state, all states must provide Medicaid coverage for children under 6 years of age and pregnant women whose family income is at or below 133% of FPL (or $24,073 for a family of four). Many states cover children under age 1 and pregnant women whose family income is at or below 185% of FPL (or $33,485 for a family of four). To learn more about Medicaid eligibility guidelines, go to www.hcfa.gov/medicaid/meligib.htm . What do children receive once they are enrolled? Health services vary from state to state, but generally, states are required to provide the following services through Medicaid: early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) services for children physician services hospital care (inpatient and outpatient) To learn more about Medicaid, go to www.hcfa.gov/medicaid/mover.htm or www.kff.org/content/2001/2248 .
