The Medicaid Program was authorized in 1965 during a special session of the North Dakota Legislature for the purpose of strengthening and extending the provision of medical care and services to certain groups of people whose resources are insufficient to meet such costs. Medicaid began in North Dakota effective January 1, 1966. Corrective, preventive and rehabilitative medical services are provided to help individuals and families retain or attain capability for independence, self-care, and self-support.
