If you are eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, you are considered “dually eligible,” and you can enroll in both. Medicaid can cover services that Medicare does not, like long-term care. It can also pick up Medicare’s out-of-pocket costs (deductibles, coinsurances, copayments).
Contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) if you have questions about Medicare enrollment, costs, or coverage, or if you would like help applying for the Medicare Savings Program. SHIPs can help you explain how Medicare and Medicaid work together in your state.

You pay nothing for this vaccine. Be sure to bring your Medicare card so your health care provider or pharmacy can bill Medicare.
If you have questions about what your Medicare covers during the current public health emergency, ask a SHIP in your area. They can help you understand your coverage and recent Medicare changes.

Be on the lookout for COVID-19 vaccine scams. You will NEVER be asked for money to enhance your ranking for vaccine eligibility. Do not send payment to anyone who calls or texts asking for money to improve your chances at receiving the vaccine faster. Learn more: https://go.usa.gov/xA4ke
