Agency: Dakota County Employment and Economic Assistance


Resource Number: 36870244
Alternate name: Medical Assistance - MA; MA Expansion

 Description
A federal assistance program that helps pay for the medical care and nursing home care of individuals who cannot pay for their care. The medical services that may be paid for by Medical Assistance (MA) include:

- Physician care

- Hospital care

- Prescriptions

- Eyecare

- Routine dental care

- Mental health treatment

- Chemical dependency care

- Nursing home care

- Reimbursement for medical transportation and other health care access services is available

NOTE: Individuals may be eligible only for MA or they may also be eligible for one of the cash assistance programs, EMA, and/or Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) services. Those who receive cash through MFIP or MSA will, with few exceptions, also receive MA. MA is different from Medicare. People with disabilities who work, even if they're over the income or asset limits of MA, may still qualify for a program called Medical Assistance for Employed Persons with Disabilities (MA-EPD).
