Medically Needy is a Medicaid classification for aged, blind, or disabled individuals whose countable income and/or resources exceed the categorically needy limits. Medically Needy coverage extends Medicaid to needy aged, blind, and disabled individuals who have too much income/resources to receive SSI, but not enough to pay for medical care. This section defines the requirements to determine eligibility as Medically Needy. Always evaluate aged, blind or disabled individuals who are financially ineligible as Categorically Needy under Medically Needy regulations.
