How do I qualify for Medicaid?
Medicaid is health insurance that helps those who can't afford medical care. In order to qualify for this benefit program, you must be a U.S. national, citizen, or permanent resident in need of health care/insurance assistance, whose financial situation would be characterized as low income or very low income.
Low income is only one test for Medicaid eligibility; assets and resources are also evaluated. For more information, call us at (305) 716-0710 or visit http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicaidEligibility.
How do I qualify for Medicare?
You qualify for Medicare if:
- You are a U.S. citizen, or have been a permanent legal resident for 5 continuous years, and are 65 years old or older.
- You are under 65, disabled, and have been receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) for at least 24 months.
- You get continuing dialysis for permanent kidney failure or need a kidney transplant.
- You have Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS-Lou Gehrig's disease).
Medicare is a Health Insurance Program administered by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). It is the nation's largest health insurance program, covering nearly 40 million Americans. For additional information, visit http://www.cms.hhs.gov/home/medicare.asp.

Private pay is for individuals who can afford to pay with their own funds for services. It is also a short-term alternative for those who may be on a waiting list for government assistance, but need immediate care.
