Your DSS caseworker will calculate your total income and resources to determine eligibility. Some of the programs that fall under Adult Medicaid include the following:
Community Alternatives Programs (CAP) – CAP is a Medicaid waiver program for those who are able to remain in their homes despite needing institutional care. These clients receive additional services.
Managed Care (MA)/Carolina Access(CA) – MA/CA is a program that is managed by Medicaid. It provides you with a primary care provider and a medical “home” to coordinate all your medical care. If you receive Medicaid, it is mandatory that you participate in this program, unless you are a pregnant woman, foster child, CAP participant or receive Medicare.
Long Term Care (LTC) – Medicaid will pay for some portion of your cost of care in a long term skilled or intermediate care facility as well as medical expenses.
Special Assistance (SA) – SA is a program for adults who live in residential care facilities. For more information on SA and how to apply, visit our Special Assistance page.
