Minnesota's Medicaid program for people with low income. Most people who have MA receive health care through health plans. Members who do not receive health care through a health plan receive care on a fee-for-service basis, with providers billing the state directly for services they provide.
MA pays for a variety of services like doctor visits, prescriptions, and hospital stays. Some services and prescriptions may require prior approval. MA pays for medical bills going back three months from the month the application is received.
NOTE: People with disabilities who work, even if they're over the income or asset limits of MA,, may still qualify for a program called Medical Assistance for Employed Persons with Disabilities - MA-EPD.
