Medicaid offices administer the joint federal-state health insurance program that provides coverage to low-income individuals and families, including children, pregnant women, elderly adults, and people with disabilities. These offices process applications, determine eligibility, and manage enrollment for one of the nation's most important healthcare safety-net programs.

There are 52 states with Medicaid Office locations across the United States. Medicaid and CHIP together cover more than 90 million Americans, making it the largest source of health coverage in the country by enrollment.

About Medicaid Office

Medicaid is a joint federal and state program administered by state agencies under guidelines set by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Each state designs its own Medicaid program within federal parameters, resulting in significant variation in covered services, eligibility thresholds, and delivery systems across states.

Common Services

  • Long-term care Medicaid application and HCBS waiver enrollment
  • Spend-down and medically needy program eligibility processing
  • Retroactive coverage determination for medical bills incurred before enrollment
  • Medicaid managed care grievance and appeals support

Medicaid recipients must report changes in income, household size, or address promptly — failure to report can result in overpayment claims or termination of coverage. Most states offer online portals for reporting changes without visiting an office.
