Those presently receiving Medicaid Family Planning benefits may find themselves automatically enrolled in this comprehensive healthcare coverage. Notification will be sent to those individuals eligible for automatic enrollment.
Under the Medicaid Expansion Plan, coverage will extend to citizens aged 19 to 64 with incomes up to 138% of the federal poverty level. This opens up the possibility of healthcare coverage through Medicaid for individuals who may not have qualified in the past.
Alamance County DSS encourages residents interested in enrolling for Medicaid under the expanded guidelines to utilize the convenient online application process at epass.nc.gov.
