How do I get my Mom on Medicaid?

Is she on Medicare? Maybe she doesn't need Medicaid. Medicare and a supplement may be all she needs. Is she over 65?

You may apply for Medicaid in the following ways:
•NY State of Health, The Official Health Plan Marketplace (855)355-5777
•Online website
•Managed Care Organization (MCO)
•Navigators and Certified Application Counselors
•Medicaid Helpline (800)541-2831
•Local District Social Services Offices

New York has a very good website that seems to answer just about any question you could have. Each state's plan is different.

Go to: http://www.health.ny.gov/health_care/medicaid for more information.

If this link doesn't come through, just google Medicaid in New York and it should come up for you.
