Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Medically needy programs in states are designed to offer Medicaid coverage to individuals, including pregnant women and children, who may have too high an income to qualify under traditional Medicaid but have significant medical expenses. However, the requirement to cover "regardless of age" is not accurate, as coverage for children typically has age limits, usually up to 18 or 21 years old.
