If you have a disability and are working but earn too much for regular Medicaid, the Medicaid Buy-In Program may still provide you with coverage.

Apply through the district office serving your area.

If your income is slightly above Medicaid limits, you may still qualify by applying medical expenses toward your excess income — similar to meeting a deductible.

Once your out-of-pocket medical costs equal the amount you're over the income limit in a given month, Medicaid covers the rest of your bills for that month.

Qualifying expenses include:

• Doctor and dental visits
• Outpatient care and lab tests
• Prescription drugs
• Home care and assisted living

The Family Planning Benefit Program provides confidential family planning services to teens, women, and men of childbearing age – helping people plan for or prevent pregnancy.

You may be eligible even if you already have other health insurance but want coverage specifically for family planning services. You can apply for FPBP without applying for full Medicaid or Child Health Plus coverage.
