North Carolina Medicaid has EXPANDED
Starting on Dec. 1, 2023, NC Medicaid now covers people ages 19 through 64 years with higher incomes. You may be able to get health care coverage through Medicaid even if you didn’t qualify before. Medicaid pays for doctor visits, yearly check-ups, emergency care, mental health, and more – at little or no cost to you.
NC Medicaid covers most health services, including:
- primary care so you can go to a doctor for a check-up or when you are not feeling well
- hospital services when you need to stay overnight (inpatient) or when you can go home the same day (outpatient)
- maternity and postpartum care if you are pregnant and after giving birth
- vision and hearing services
- prescription drug benefits to pay for your medicines
- behavioral health
- substance abuse
- preventive and wellness services
- dental and oral health services
- medical-related devices and other therapies
