Definitions of Medicaid in North Carolina

Medicaid in North Carolina*

"Medicaid is a health insurance program for low-income individuals and families who cannot afford health care costs. Medicaid serves low-income parents, children, seniors, and people with disabilities.

Medicaid is a little different, depending on who you are and your situation.
What You Can Expect from Medicaid
  • Individuals on Medicaid receive a Medicaid Identification (MID) card, which is their insurance card.
  • There are copayments for some services.
  • Medicaid has several different types of coverage for people with different needs. For instance, pregnant women have a special package of benefits all their own.
  • To receive Medicaid, you don’t have to go through a physical or other type of exam. However, if you are applying because you are pregnant, proof of pregnancy is required. You can’t be rejected for Medicaid because of a health condition you already have. Instead, Medicaid is based on your family’s finances. You do not have to have a medical need.
  • Medicaid managed care provides a medical home if you are enrolled in Carolina Access or Southcare. Your primary care provider will help you get the medical services you need.

What health care programs for children are available in North Carolina?

Children's Medicaid in North Carolina; Medicaid for Infants and Children (MIC):

North Carolina Medicaid provides health care coverage for children who meet the requirements based on income, residence, and other criteria. Medicaid for Infants and Children (MIC) provides medical coverage for children under age 19. The income limits are determined by the family size and the age of the child(ren) for whom you are applying. There is also coverage for some individuals under Medicaid for Families with Dependent Children; which provides medical coverage for parent(s) or other caretaker/relative with child(ren) age 18 and under in the household and for children under age 21. A pregnant woman may also qualify.

There is an additional program, which is not Medicaid:
"North Carolina Health Choice (NCHC) for Children is a free or reduced price comprehensive health care program for children. The goal of the NCHC Program is to reduce the number of uninsured children in the State to ensure that the population served will be healthy and ready to learn and work. If your family makes too much money to qualify for Medicaid but too little to afford rising health insurance premiums, your child(ren) may qualify for NCHC."

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."
