Community Alternatives Program (CAP) – What is Medicaid?
Medicaid pays medical bills for certain people with limited income and resources. Medicaid is similar to private health insurance in that there is an ID card to show eligibility and deductibles must be met in certain situations (income-based). In order to determine eligibility for Medicaid, an application for Medicaid assistance must be made at the Department of Social Services in your county of residence.
