National Medicaid Policy

National Medicaid Policy refers to the guidelines and regulations governing the Medicaid program, a federal-state partnership that provides healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families in the United States. This policy outlines eligibility criteria, benefits covered, and how funding is shared between the federal government and states. Medicaid aims to ensure that vulnerable populations, including children, elderly, and disabled individuals, have access to necessary medical services. States can tailor their programs within federal guidelines, leading to variations in coverage and services across the country.
