Q

What agency should Carlos contact and what information does he need to help his client? (Enter your response and submit to compare to an expert’s response.)

Because the client needs help paying for health care, Carlos should start with CMS. The client is only 63 years old, so they are too young for Medicare unless the client has a disability or ESRD. Because Medicaid is a program managed by the state, Carlos would need to be sure of which state the client resides in and then determine what those state requirements are. Income and age are usually determining factors, but Carlos would need to know if the client’s income is used to support the client alone or a family. Learning more about the client’s family might also help with eligibility.
