MEDICAID AND MEDICARE
Despite the similarity in names, Medicaid and Medicare are two completely different programs. Contact DSS for Medicaid issues. For Medicare issues, including signing up for Part D coverage, contact Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services at 540-825-3100 and ask for Poppy Foddrell, Aging Support Coordinator at ext 3427.
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people age 65 or older, people under age 65 with certain disabilities, and people of all ages with endstage renal disease( permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant).
Medicaid provides health coverage to low-income children and provides assistance for some low-income adults, such as pregnant women, parents of dependent children, blind or disabled individuals, individuals under hospice care, individuals age 65 or older, or other medically needed criteria.
In Virginia, the Governor’ s Department of Medical Assistance Services’( DMAS) is the agency that administers Medicaid and the State Children’ s Health Insurance Program( CHIP). In Virginia we call our children’ s program FAMIS. Check out www. famis. org to learn more. Call 800-772-9996 or contact the Department of Social Services with questions about Medicaid or FAMIS.
Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance – Most people don’ t pay a premium for Part A because they or a spouse already paid for it through their payroll taxes while working. Medicare Part B Medical Insurance helps cover doctors’ services and outpatient care. Most people pay a monthly premium for Part B. Part D Prescription Drug Coverage – Most people will pay a monthly premium for this insurance; private companies provide the coverage. Beneficiaries choose the drug plan and pay a monthly premium. Like other insurance, if a beneficiary decides not to enroll in a drug plan when they are first eligible, they may pay a penalty if they choose to join later.
