Your daughter is employed but has no medical insurance and needs emergency medical care for a ovarian cyst how can she apply for Medicare or medicaid through social services?
Jdora
Yes. Medicare/Medicaid is provided based on income and family size, not on employment status. However, consider this: If this is truly an emerency treatment, she would be covered under EMTALA (Emergency Medical Treatment And Labor Act) and be able to receive the emergency stabilizing treatment necessray regardless of ability to pay. Also, the hospital will actually help you to fill out the Medicare/Medicaid paperwork themselves to (1) be a service to you, and (2) to try to get any payment they can. They will work with you, usually, especially if you get to a county or not-too-private hospital. Make sure wherever you choose to go accepts Medicare/medicaid though, a lot of places have stopped accepting it because of how little it actually pays.
