Which of the following describes Medicaid?

  1. A federally-funded program for patients with disabilities
  2. A state-funded program for low income patients
  3. A state-funded program for patients over the age of 65
  4. A state-funded program for patients with kidney disease
Explanation

Answer: B - Medicaid is an insurance program co-funded by individual states and the federal government, but managed by the states. It is designed for use by patients that meet specific low-income requirements. Medicaid is the single largest payer for mental health services in the United States and is increasingly playing a larger role in the reimbursement of substance use disorder services. 

 

A federally-funded program for patients with disabilities is Medicare. There is not a state-funded program available for patients over the age of 65 or those with kidney disease.
