Do you have to have full Medicaid when you have Medicare, or can you have a Medicaid HMO plan like First Choice?

My 93-year-old mother (well over age 65!) had Kaiser Advantage for her Medicare and had then qualified for Oregon Medicaid when her funds ran out to pay for her long term care.

I just googled this :

If you have Supplemental Security Income (SSI) Disability, you may get Medicaid coverage automatically or you may have to apply.

If you get SSI Disability and have Medicaid

You’re considered covered under the health care law. You don’t need to get a Marketplace plan. You won’t have to pay the penalty that people without coverage must pay.

If you get SSI Disability and don’t have Medicaid

You can apply for Medicaid coverage. But whether you need to apply depends on your state

In many states, SSI recipients automatically qualify for Medicaid and don’t have to fill out a Medicaid application.
In other states, your SSI guarantees you Medicaid eligibility, but you have to sign up for it.
In a few states, SSI doesn’t guarantee Medicaid eligibility. But most people who get SSI are still eligible.
If you have SSI Disability and don’t have Medicaid, you can apply for Medicaid coverage 2 ways:

Select your state from the menu on this Medicaid page for contact information.
Fill out a Marketplace application.
Answer “yes” when asked if you have a disability, and we’ll send your application to your state Medicaid office.

Medicare comes in effect as 65 and everyone gets. My nephew is on SSD and he is 25. He has Medicare as his primary and medicaid as his secondary. He has Horizon. You can work and get Medicaid. The best thing is to call Medicaid. Each situation is different.

I believe the only way not to qualify for medicare or medicaid is by not ever paying in any taxes.

Medicaid is separate from Medicare. Medicare offers Medigap insurance plans to cover what Medicare itself doesn't cover. Medicaid is for low income.

My mom does not qualify for medicaid or medicare.
