Did You Know: Medigap & Medicaid

On every Medicare Supplement application you will see the question, “Are you covered for medical assistance through the state Medicaid program?"

This is because there are only two situations in which it would be legal to have both Medigap and Medicaid. They are:

1. If Medicaid pays for your Medigap policy
2. If Medicaid is only paying the part B premium

In all other situations, it would be illegal to have both Medigap and Medicaid.
