They should get paid diabilities from our government. Medicare requires that the disabled individual or her/his parent have 40 quarters of earnings credit. In this case, the individual might also be eligible for Supplemental Security Income and Medicaid.
What Medicare or Medicaid program should a 75 yr old female who receives approximately 525 per month income qualify for?

With Medicare A and B and Medicaid GO do you need additional health insurance?
Medicaid should pick up anything that Medicare doesn't pay for.
Can i submit a bill nys Medicaid for medicare hmo deductible?
You cannot bill Medicaid for your HMO deductibles. However, if you are medicaid eligible, you don't need a Medicare HMO - Medicaid should be paying your Medicare co-payments, deductibles, and any other covered expenses that Medicare doesn't pay. If you are on Medicaid spend-down, your HMO deductible is a medical expense that can be applied to spend-down.
Do you have to carry supplement insuance with medicaid or Medicare?
Medicaid is intended to cover all medically necessary services for indigent persons, so no supplemental insurance should be necessary. For Medicare, supplemental insurance will be necessary.
Why Medicaid should NOT be classified as only being made available for low-income people?
By law, Medicaid is limited to low-income people.
Should you be entitled Medicare by the governmnt?
"Should" is a matter of opinion. Medicare is not an entitlement program (unlike Medicaid). It is an insurance program funded by payroll taxes on employees and employers.
Do you need medicare supplemental insurance if you are on medicaid?
Yes, if you are working and can't live without your paycheck. Be careful that you buy too much of it as medicaid can request funds/benefits be paid to them. I've never seen it interfere with the continuing qualification of medicaid as well but again you don't want to buy a bunch of it. If you are medicaid, you probably won't be able to afford enough medicaid to make a difference. And don't forget to cover spouse and/or child if you have them...if they go into the hospital or ICU then you will most likely not be able to go to work and could potential interrupt your income indirectly.
Does medicare part A have a copay when entering a hospital?
Yes. That's why one should have Medicaid (if eligible) or supplemental insurance.
Just turn 65 have medicare and AARP priscription applied for medicaid with public aid can you drop this medicaid with public aid and apply for well care?
I'm not familiar with well care. However, having other medical coverage such as Medicare or AARP is not a bar to receiving Medicaid. You should tell Public Aid about your other medical coverage, because Medicaid is the payor of last resort.
If one has a Medicare Advantage plan with New York Medicaid just added, how can the provider collect on the Medicaid portion when it is tied to an inactive Medicare Adv plan, not the current one?
When dealing with a Medicare Advantage (Medicare Adv) plan that has New York Medicaid recently added, and the Medicaid portion is linked to an inactive Medicare Adv plan, there are several steps to consider: Dual-eligible Special Needs Plans (D-SNPs): These are Medicare Advantage Plans specifically designed for individuals enrolled in Medicare and Medicaid. D-SNPs typically require using in-network providers for Medicare services, and these providers should also accept Medicaid. Cost-sharing varies among plans, and some may offer zero cost-sharing for enrollees. D-SNP enrolment is voluntary, and it’s essential to verify that Medicaid covers Medicare cost-sharing, such as deductibles and copayments. Medicaid Advantage Plus (MAP) Plans: For individuals with long-term care needs, MAP plans provide a “wrap-around” partial Medicaid benefit to enhance coordination between Medicare and Medicaid services. If you’re eligible, you can enroll by following these steps: Call 1-800-MEDICARE (633-4227) and enroll in the MAP plan’s Medicare product. You may be instructed to call the MAP insurer directly for further enrollment. Contact New York Medicaid Choice (the state’s managed care enrollment program) at 888-401-6582 to complete the Medicaid portion of enrollment into the MAP plan. Original Medicare + Medicaid: Some individuals may prefer Original Medicare coverage because it provides greater flexibility in choosing providers. In this case, you can combine Original Medicare with a Medicare Part D plan and fee-for-service (FFS) Medicaid. Additionally, consider a Medicaid managed long-term care (MLTC) plan if you have long-term care needs. Remember that each situation is unique, so it’s advisable to consult with a knowledgeable professional or contact your local Medicaid office for personalized guidance.
