Question |

How do I apply for Medicaid? |
|
| |
Answer |
| |
You apply for Medicaid in the state in which you live. You can obtain and submit an application at your local Medicaid office. The phone number for your local office can be found in the blue pages of your phone book. Frequently, the office listing is under “medical assistance”. If you have trouble finding the local office phone number in your phone book, call your local Social Security office. They can give you the phone number and address of your local Medicaid office.
Some states also let you apply on the Internet, by telephone, or at locations in the community, such as community health centers.
Most states have a toll-free number to help answer your questions. The toll-free operators can provide you information on how and where to apply. You can find the state contact information by visiting http://www.cms.hhs.gov/medicaid/statemap.asp and select your state program from the map.
