💙 Crisis Moment: Financial Risks with Medicaid
Are you concerned about yours? Why did I get a bill when I am on Medicaid?
This is a question we hear often, and the answer might surprise you. Many people don't realize that some states are collecting co-pays on services based on your income. This means even if you're on Medicaid, you could still receive unexpected bills.
Here's what you need to know:
✓ Medicaid coverage varies by state
✓ Some states charge co-pays for certain services
✓ Your income level may affect what you pay
✓ You have the right to understand your coverage
If you've received a bill you didn't expect while on Medicaid, you're not alone. The key is getting clarity on what you owe and why.
**Need answers?** Reach out to your county's Aging and Disability Resource Center or government office on aging to speak with a Medicaid specialist. They can help you answer your questions and understand your coverage.
Don't navigate this alone. Seek out a professional to help you make sense of it all. 💚
