  • Many of these programs are not approved for retroactive services. Eligibility for these programs may provide coverage only for future services. 
  • If you do not qualify for Medicaid or any other public assistance program, but are unable to pay for all of your care, we will ask you for documentation about your financial ability to pay to determine whether you may be eligible for assistance based on federal poverty guidelines.
