MEDICAID AND MEDICARE
Despite the similarity in names , Medicaid and Medicare are two completely different programs . Contact DSS for Medicaid issues . For Medicare issues , including signing up for Part D coverage , contact Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services at 540-825-3100 and ask for Poppy Foddrell , Aging Support Coordinator at ext 3427 .
Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people age 65 or older , people under age 65 with certain disabilities , and people of all ages with endstage renal disease ( permanent kidney failure requiring dialysis or a kidney transplant ).
Medicaid provides health coverage to low-income children and provides assistance for some low-income adults , such as pregnant women , parents of dependent children , blind or disabled individuals , individuals under hospice care , individuals age 65 or older , or other medically needed criteria .
In Virginia , the Governor ’ s Department of Medical Assistance Services ’ ( DMAS ) is the agency that administers Medicaid and the State Children ’ s Health Insurance Program ( CHIP ). In Virginia we call our children ’ s program FAMIS . Check out www . famis . org to learn more . Call 800-772-9996 or contact the Department of Social Services with questions about Medicaid or FAMIS .
Medicare Part A Hospital Insurance – Most people don ’ t pay a premium for Part A because they or a spouse already paid for it through their payroll taxes while working . Medicare Part B Medical Insurance helps cover doctors ’ services and outpatient care . Most people pay a monthly premium for Part B . Part D Prescription Drug Coverage – Most people will pay a monthly premium for this insurance ; private companies provide the coverage . Beneficiaries choose the drug plan and pay a monthly premium . Like other insurance , if a beneficiary decides not to enroll in a drug plan when they are first eligible , they may pay a penalty if they choose to join later .
