Medicare and Wheelchairs

1-800-542-7236 Who Qualifies for Medicare?

Individuals who:

  • are at least 65 years old.
  • are disabled and qualify for disability (may be under 65 years old).
  • are US citizens or legal residents.
  • have worked for at least 10 years in Medicare-covered employment. Both spouses qualify even if only one meets this criterion.
The Difference Between Medicare & Medicaid

Medicaid is a state-run program that provides hospital and medical coverage for low-income individuals. Each state has its own rules about who is eligible and what is covered under Medicaid. Alternatively, Medicare is a federal program available to all U.S. citizens after their 65th birthday. Some people qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid. For more information about the Medicaid program, contact your local medical assistance agency, social services or welfare office.
