I’ve been using Healthfirst Medicaid for a while now, and let me tell you, it’s been a lifesaver. Here’s the breakdown of what they cover in plain English:

  • The Basics: Healthfirst Medicaid covers most of the important stuff you need to stay healthy. That includes regular checkups with your doctor, trips to the emergency room if needed, and even urgent care visits for those unexpected situations.
  • Your Whole Body: They don’t stop at just physical health. Healthfirst Medicaid also covers things like mental health services, so you can get the help you need if you’re struggling.
  • Bringing New Life into the World: If you’re expecting a baby, you’re covered! Healthfirst Medicaid includes maternity care, and your newborn is automatically enrolled in Medicaid too.
  • Seeing Clearly, Hearing Well, and Smiling Brightly: Your eyes, ears, and teeth are important too. Healthfirst Medicaid covers vision, hearing, and dental care, including regular checkups and cleanings for your teeth.
  • Extra Perks: On top of everything else, they even provide transportation to get you to your doctor’s appointments and some plans offer health and wellness programs to help you stay on top of your health.

Here’s a tip: While this covers most of the general stuff, it’s always best to check directly with Healthfirst Medicaid to make sure. They can tell you exactly what your specific plan covers. You can find this information on their website [healthfirst.org] or call their member services number on the back of your insurance card.
