AbilityCare Coverage and Eligibility

AbilityCare is a Medicare Advantage Special Needs BasicCare (SNBC) program for people with disabilities who live in our 8-county service area. AbilityCare is designed to help people with disabilities access the health care, medications and support services they need. There are no additional costs to join AbilityCare.

To be eligible for AbilityCare you must:

  • Be certified disabled by the Social Security Administration or State Medical Review Team (SMRT);
  • Be at least 18 and under the age of 65 at the time of enrollment;
  • Be eligible for Medical Assistance;
  • Have Medicare Parts A and B;
  • Live in our service area (see service area map) .

AbilityCare eligibility is determined by a financial worker in your county.

AbilityCare provides Medicare Part A (hospital), Part B (medical), Part D (prescription drug) and Medical Assistance coverage.

You do not pay a separate monthly plan premium for AbilityCare. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium (unless your Part B premium is paid for you by Medical Assistance (Medicaid) or another third party).
