What is General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC)?
General Assistance Medical Care is a state-funded health care program for very low-income adults, who are not raising children. Effective June 1, 2010, major changes were made to the GAMC program. Under the new rules, GAMC is no longer a traditional health insurance program that provides a full set of health care services. GAMC enrollees now receive care through hospitals called Coordinated Care Delivery Systems (CCDSs). GAMC is administered by the Minnesota Department of Human Services but eligibility and case management is done by county human services departments.
