dual eligible beneficiaries

Dual Eligible beneficiaries are individuals who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid programs in the United States. This typically includes older adults or people with disabilities who have limited income and resources. Medicare provides health insurance mainly for hospital and medical services, while Medicaid helps cover additional costs like long-term care and personal care services. Being dual eligible allows these individuals to receive a broader range of healthcare services and financial support, ensuring they have access to necessary medical care without facing overwhelming expenses.
