Spreading the word about these healthcare benefits is key!   According to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, most in-state U.S. citizen residents between the ages of 19-64 —will be able to get coverage through Medicaid if their household income falls at or slightly above the federal poverty level. That’s roughly $20,000 for a single adult and $34,000 for a family of three.  The services provided include primary and maternity care as well as hospital stays, prescription drug benefits, and more. The best way to apply is online through ePASS. You can also apply in-person, phone or mailed applications.
