Medicaid is a program that pays for medical assistance for certain individuals and families with low incomes and resources. This program became law in 1965 and is jointly funded by the Federal and State governments (including the District of Columbia and the Territories) to assist States in providing medical long-term care assistance to people who meet certain eligibility criteria. Medicaid is the largest source of funding for medical and health-related services for people with limited income.

Jeff Mooneyham, a National Insurance Contracting Specialist at Rascal® Insurance Services, says, "Our participation with Medicaid exemplifies our commitment to being the ‘go to’ source for power mobility patients with limited incomes. Good health is important to everyone. If you can't afford to pay for power mobility right now, Medicaid can make it possible for you to get the power mobility that you need. Mobility pays tremendous dividends to both Medicare and Medicare beneficiaries through better overall health and reduced medical expenses."

“We strive to provide the highest level of service in patient care, mobility product innovation, claims processing, and managed care partnerships to best serve all patients,” said Cynthia DeCicco, another Rascal® National Insurance Contracting Specialist.
