Medicaid

Mentors should NOT help to register refugee families in Medicaid or any other health care program. This will be taken care of by LFS. If there seems to be a problem with a family's Medicaid, please contact MARC@denrescue.org so that we can resolve the issue.

Medicaid is a very complex and still changing government program with many subprograms and alternatives. Therefore, there is no single summary or eligibility requirements that can be given.
