Medicaid

Medicaid is a program that provides health coverage to eligible low-income Kentucky residents. Medicaid covers families with children and pregnant women, medically needy individuals, the elderly, and people with disabilities, if state and federal guidelines are met. Legal residents who are not U.S. citizens may be eligible for Medicaid. Non-citizens who do not have immigration documents cannot enroll in Medicaid except under emergency medical conditions, which are life threatening if not treated.

In Kentucky you may be eligible for Medicaid if you are an infant, a child, pregnant, or a parent of a child and your family income meets the Medicaid income standards.

For children under the age of 19 who are not eligible for Medicaid and who have limited or no health insurance, Kentucky has a program called the Kentucky Children’s Health Insurance Program.  You can apply for this program at the same location that you would apply for Medicaid.
