Medicaid Program in Hampton

Medicaid helps low-income U.S. citizens across the country access safe health care services at no cost. In states like Virginia, the Medicaid system is accessed by residents with a variety of needs, including families with children, pregnant women, disabled persons and senior citizens. The state Medicaid plan covers a variety of costs, such as primary care, dental care, prescription medication and nursing home care. Other long-term care options may be covered by waivers that amend the state Medicaid plan.

To qualify for Medicaid in Virginia on the basis of age, seniors must be at least 65 years old and full-time residents of Virginia. Financially, they must meet the following requirements:

• Single applicants or married applicants applying without their spouse are allowed an income of up to $832.66 per month and a maximum of $2,000 in countable assets.
• Married applicants who are applying together are allowed an income of up to $1,127.33 per month and up to $3,000 in countable assets.

For eligibility purposes, all forms of income are counted including social security income and retirement pension. Some assets are excluded from consideration, such as the applicant's home and its furnishings, a single vehicle, personal belongings and irrevocable burial trusts.

Seniors living in Hampton can apply for coverage by contacting Cover Virginia at (855) 242-8282 or by completing an application online. The state plan is an entitlement program, which means that all eligible applicants are able to begin receiving benefits immediately upon acceptance into the plan.

Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus Medicaid Waiver (CCC+)

The Commonwealth Coordinated Care Plus Medicaid Waiver (CCC+) helps elderly individuals and those with disabilities to access care in their communities and avoid or delay the need for nursing home care. CCC+ covers costs including assisted living, homemaker services, home health aides, meal assistance and non-emergency transportation. CCC+ also includes all standard benefits of the state Medicaid plan. Some participants of this waiver are able to direct their own care by hiring, training and supervising their own caregivers.

To be eligible for CCC+, an applicant must be a legal resident of Virginia who is at least 65 years of age or legally disabled. All applicants, regardless of age, must require a nursing level of care. The following income requirements are in place for this program:

• Married applicants who are applying together are allowed an income of up to $4,626 per month and a maximum of $4,000 in countable assets.

To apply for CCC+, seniors can call the Department of Medical Assistance Services at (804) 786-7933.
