Blue Cross Blue Shield: Medicaid Or Medicare? Unraveling The Healthcare Mystery

Blue Cross Blue Shield offers Medicaid and Medicare plans for those who qualify.

Medicare is a state-regulated insurance policy for individuals who receive Medicare coverage through Original Medicare.

Medicaid eligibility differs from Medicare eligibility

Medicaid is a state-based health insurance program that is funded by both federal and state dollars and covers a set of benefits and services. The program helps low-income individuals and families, people with disabilities and the elderly. Medicare, on the other hand, is a federal health insurance program that provides coverage for people who are 65 years or older, younger people with certain disabilities, and people with End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis or a transplant.

Medicaid eligibility and Medicare eligibility are different. Medicaid eligibility is based on income and other factors, while Medicare eligibility is based on age and disability. Special rules apply for individuals eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid.
