Medicare vs. Medicaid

Yes, if you qualify for both, you can have Medicare and Medicaid together. This is known as being dual eligible. When you receive your care, Medicare will cover all that it can first. After that, Medicaid covers its share. Qualifying for both of these programs also gives you a chance to enroll in a Medicare Advantage Dual Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP), which combines the coverage of both programs!
