Age & Disability
To qualify for Medicaid you need to be:
- Over 65
- Legally blind
- Disabled
People under the age of 65 may still qualify for support if they meet the criteria for disability. Disabled individuals are defined as those unable to engage in gainful activities, such as working, for a continuous period of one year. The determination of disability requires a medical professional.
Medical Necessity
A medical need is evident if you require daily treatment, monitoring, or assistance with your Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) and basic life functions. This includes those who need 24-hour support from a skilled care facility or constant medical supervision. You also qualify if you have complex medical conditions that require daily treatments administered by a nurse. At Nero Eldercare, we understand the importance of meeting these medical needs for individuals with age and disability concerns.
Financial Necessity
Qualifying for Medicaid through financial need can be a complex process, as it requires meeting your state’s eligibility requirements. The specific income threshold depends on the number of people in your household. If your monthly income exceeds this amount, there are still numerous options available to help you qualify for Medicaid.
