You may receive Medicaid regardless of your Social Security status.
Though social security is federal, Medicaid is state funded. You may want to call Medicaid and ask if you will be covered while traveling out of state.

On medicaid they say I qualify for a buy in under QMB .The state is paying my buy in but medicare sends me the bills and insist that Medicaid is not paying. I have been trying to straiten this out for 18 months now .medicare blames social security , social security blames medicaid , medicaid blames social security. Now I am told the Dept. of buy-ins is the only ones that can fix the problem. Is there such a Dept? How could I contact them?
