Many older adults depend on federally- and state-funded Medicaid services for their primary medical and hospitalization insurance coverage. Medicare is a separate program from other federally- and/or state-funded programs with different eligibility requirements and service coverage. Medicaid may provide some differences in benefits dependent on state funding.

This program will help adult children to understand Medicaid and the benefits it may offer their aging parents, so they may be more informed advocates for their aging parents’ health and medical care and service coverage.
