Definitions of Medicaid in Ohio

Medicaid in Ohio*
"Medicaid is a state and federally funded health care program that provides assistance to certain low-income and medically vulnerable people. Ohioans who are eligible for Medicaid are entitled to all medically necessary services. The state can not limit the number of eligible persons enrolled in Medicaid or deny access to medically necessary services in order to control costs.

Ohio’s Medicaid program provides health care coverage to people who meet certain eligibility requirements. Depending on income, insurance status may affect eligibility and some consumers may be required to pay monthly premiums or copays. "

"In reality, Medicaid is not one program but many:
  • An insurance program for children, parents, pregnant women, elders, and people with disabilities who meet certain low income requirements;
  • A program of chronic and long-term care for people with disabilities, including people with mental illness, and lowincome elderly;
  • A supplement to Medicare for low-income elderly and people with disabilities; and
  • A source of funding for uncompensated care in hospitals."
