Medical Benefits Eligibility (Cardinal Care Medicaid)

Cardinal Care Medicaid is the federally funded medical care program for Virginia individuals who are elderly, blind, disabled, dependent children, and pregnant women.



To be eligible, individuals must meet income and resource requirements.  Cardinal Care Medicaid is intended to provide medical care to public assistance recipients and medically needy persons (those of low income who can meet their maintenance needs but have insufficient income to provide the cost of medical care).  Recipients receive Cardinal Care Medicaid cards which they use when receiving services from approved providers.  Services include doctor and hospital bills, prescriptions, eyeglasses, and children's dental care.
