UNC Health Lenoir is taking the mystery out of expanded Medicaid
As a community partner, UNC Health Lenoir strives to ensure that each and every citizen of Lenoir County has access to the medical care they need. Medicaid has expanded and is now available to more people than ever before. Many people were not able to access coverage in the past because their employer did not provide coverage, or they could not afford the monthly premium.
So, what has changed? As of December 2023, Medicaid has changed eligibility requirements and you or someone you know may now qualify. UNC Health Lenoir is here to take the mystery out of this process. Hospital staff is available to help answer questions about eligibility and enrollment in the new expanded Medicaid program. The process may seem confusing, but UNC Health Lenoir employs Medicaid specialists who can make the process easy.
Expanded Medicaid covers a wide range of health care needs including regular check-ups, hospital visits, mental health services, dental care, maternity care, substance abuse services, and prescriptions. If you live in North Carolina, you may qualify depending on your income and family size.
So, spread the word. Tell your family and friends, and let’s make sure everyone knows about this opportunity. Staying healthy is important and UNC Health Lenoir is here to make sure everyone has the coverage they need.
