Medicare 101
Medicare vs Medicaid
Medicare and Medicaid sound alike but are different programs. Medicare is federal health insurance mainly for people 65+ (and some with disabilities), regardless of income. Medicaid is a joint federal-state program for people with limited income and resources. If you qualify for both, you're 'dual-eligible' and may get extra help.
Dual eligibility
People with both Medicare and Medicaid often qualify for a D-SNP plan with $0 premiums, very low costs, and extra benefits like grocery and OTC allowances. We can check your eligibility and enroll you.
Questions, answered
Can I have Medicare and Medicaid at the same time?
Yes — that's called being dual-eligible, and it usually unlocks lower costs and extra benefits through a D-SNP plan.
