If you don’t qualify for Low-Income Medicaid, you
can still get help with your emergency medical bills (including
labor and delivery) through the Emergency Medical Assistance Program.
Call your county Department of
Family and Children Services (DFCS) office to get more information.
This program is only for emergencies and won't give you health insurance for regular medical visits.
If you are elderly, blind or disabled and are currently getting Medicare Part A Insurance, you may qualify for other types of Medicaid programs, like help paying
your Medicare premiums. Call the Division of Public Health at
(404) 657-2700 for more information.
