Overview

Medicaid (medical assistance) provides health care coverage to families who may not otherwise have access to health care. The program is designed to safeguard the health and well-being of Scioto County residents, particularly children, pregnant women, elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those looking for Long-Term Care and/or In-Home Waiver Care.

Medicaid programs include Healthy Start; Healthy Families; Healthcheck; Pregnancy-related services; and Aged, Blind and Disabled among others. Individuals who receive Medicare, but whose income is too high to qualify for Medicaid, may be eligible for the Medicare Premium Assistance Program.
