Definitions of Medicaid in Maryland

Medicaid in Maryland*

"Medicaid (also called Medical Assistance) is a program that pays the medical bills of people who have low income and cannot afford medical care. Medicaid provides three types of critical health protection:

  • Health insurance for low-income families, children, the elderly, and people with disabilities;
  • Long-term care for older Americans and individuals
  • Supplemental coverage for low-income Medicare beneficiaries (e.g., payment of Medicare premiums, deductibles, and cost sharing)."

What is CHIP?

"Originally created in 1997, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) is a state and federal partnership that provides low-cost health insurance coverage for children in families who earn too much income to qualify for Medicaid but cannot afford to purchase private health insurance coverage. States have considerable flexibility to establish income eligibility rules for CHIP, but children enrolling in the program must be otherwise uninsured."

Maryland Medicaid Waiver Programs

Medicaid Waiver for Older Adults

"The purpose of the Medicaid Waiver for Older Adults is to enable individuals who are aged 50 and over who require long-term care services to remain in a community setting even though their advanced age or disability would warrant placement in a long term care facility. The Waiver allows services that are typically covered by Medicaid only in a nursing facility, to be provided to eligible persons in their own homes or in assisted living facilities..."
