How it works

People who have Medicaid qualify for the program in one or more different eligibility categories. The Medicaid category or categories that you are in will determine the level of benefits and services you are eligible to receive and whether you need to choose a Managed Care Organization (MCO) to help manage your health care.

When you are approved for Medicaid, we will mail you a notice telling you which Medicaid category or categories you qualified for. You will also be informed whether you need to pick an MCO or not, and provided with instructions and next steps for how to proceed.
