The Medicaid program in District of Columbia covers basic medical care. This may include doctor services, inpatient hospital care, laboratory and x-ray services, inpatient short-term skilled nursing or rehabilitation-facility care, outpatient hospital or clinic care, short-term home healthcare, ambulance service and prescription drugs for people not covered by Medicare. We suggest contacting the Medicaid office to find out specifically what coverage is provided as it can be different in each state.
