Medicaid is a nationwide program that provides low-income, low-asset Americans with access to limited health services such as screening for diabetes and management of chronic health conditions. The federal and state governments jointly fund it, and in Florida, the <a href="http://www.fdhc.state.fl.us/" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.fdhc.state.fl.us/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Florida Agency for Health Care Administration</a>&nbsp;administers the&nbsp;<a href="http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/service-programs/access/medicaid.shtml" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://www.dcf.state.fl.us/service-programs/access/medicaid.shtml" rel="noopener noreferrer">Medicaid</a> program. To qualify for Medicaid coverage, Ocala seniors need to meet strict income and asset limits. For a single senior, the income limit is $2,313 per month, while a couple applying together can earn no more than $4,626. Income from all sources must be declared, including pensions, alimony, stock dividends, wages and annuities.&nbsp; Medicaid limits countable assets to a maximum of $2,000 for individuals and $3,000 for couples. Assets include cash, bank account balances, bonds, stocks and all real estate except for the applicant’s primary residence as long as that residence has a current market value of $585,000 or less.&nbsp; Also excluded from countable assets are all personal effects such as clothing, furniture, jewelry&nbsp;and one vehicle.&nbsp; Seniors aged 65 and over who qualify for Medicaid may be eligible for benefits through the <a href="http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/smmcltc.php" target="_blank" data-mce-href="http://elderaffairs.state.fl.us/doea/smmcltc.php" rel="noopener noreferrer">Florida Statewide Medicaid Managed Care, Long Term Care Program</a>, or SMMC&nbsp;LTC.
