ADULT MEDICAID

Adult Medicaid is a needs-based health insurance program for seniors over the age of 65 and disabled adults of any age.  Federal and state laws and regulations govern Medicaid.  Income limits are subject to change annually and there are resource limits for each program.  Contact an Adult Medicaid caseworker at 252.206.4000 for more information or visit the Division of Medical Assistance website at www.dhhs.state.nc.us/dma/.

Two separate units that specialize caseloads by living arrangement administer the Medicaid program in Wilson County. The Private Living Arrangement unit manages all cases for seniors and disabled adults who live in a non-institutional setting.  The Long Term Care unit manages cases for individuals (including some children) in nursing facilities, state mental hospitals, adult care homes and those hospitalized for 30 days or longer.  The unit also administers the Community Alternatives Program (CAP).
