Medicaid covers services that are medically necessary, as
determined by a Medicaid primary care physician (PCP).
Children on Medicaid from birth through age 20 are also part of
Early & Periodic Screening, Diagnosis, & Treatment
(EPSDT),
which helps parents make the most of their health care
benefits by helping families identify
medical issues as soon as possible. EPSDT is free access to good
health care for children who have a current Medicaid card.
Your
medical identification card (MID card) must be presented for all medical supplies,
equipment, or services (e.g., wheelchair, orthopedic shoes,
transportation).
FirstHelp™ 24 hour nurse hotline is a free benefit to
Medicaid recipients in the Primary Care Physician Program
and Fee-For-Service plans. It is available 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. When recipients are sick or hurt, they can call
to talk to a nurse about what to do. This can help prevent an
unnecessary
trip to the emergency room or doctor’s office. Call 911 when someone might die or be disabled if
they don’t get care right now. FirstHelp has helped over 62%
of clients planning to go to the ER make a better choice.
You may qualify for additional
services.
