The terms Medicaid and Medicare are often used interchangeably however they are two
separate programs. DHHS administers the Medicaid Program which provides health care
services to eligible elderly and disabled individuals and eligible low-income pregnant
women, children and parents.
The Nebraska Medicaid Program pays for covered medical services for those persons who
are unable to afford to pay for medically necessary services and who meet certain
eligibility requirements. Nebraska Medicaid is funded jointly by the State and federal
government.
Medicare is a federal program
and DHHS does not administer it.
