Medically needy program (department of children and families)
Individuals who are not eligible for "full" Medicaid because their income or assets are over the Medicaid program limits may qualify for the Medically Needy program. Individuals enrolled in Medically Needy must have a certain amount of medical bills each month before Medicaid can be approved. This is referred to as a "share of cost" and varies depending on the household's size and income.
Once an individual meets the share of cost for the month, the individual must contact DCF to complete bill tracking and approve Medicaid for the remainder of the month. For more information check out the brochure or call Donna Jordan (Client Relations Coordinator for all services) at 352-955-5016 for more information. See also Spanish brochure in Se Habla Español.
