State Medicaid Agencies

State Medicaid Agencies are government organizations that manage the Medicaid program in each U.S. state. Medicaid provides health coverage to eligible low-income individuals and families, including children, pregnant women, elderly persons, and those with disabilities. These agencies determine eligibility, enroll participants, and administer benefits, ensuring access to necessary medical services such as doctor visits, hospital care, and medications. Additionally, they oversee compliance with federal and state regulations, working to improve healthcare quality while controlling costs. Each state has its own Medicaid Agency, leading to variations in programs and services.
