Health Insurance Options for Low Income Individuals
The following options are available to you:
Medicaid
Medicaid provides medical care to certain individuals and families with low incomes and resources.
S-CHIP
S-CHIP provides health insurance coverage to children whose families may have too much income to qualify for Medicaid.
Prescription Assistance
Most pharmaceutical companies have established patient assistance programs to help uninsured individuals get the medications that they need to stay healthy.
If you or your loved one is unable to see a physician due to the cost of care, there may be a local community health clinic in your area. These clinics generally are free to patients or require a very small fee. Find a clinic in your area.
