Magi Medicaid in Ohio is a state program that provides healthcare coverage to low-income individuals and families with children. Magi Medicaid is based on modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), which is calculated using federal income tax rules and a tax filer’s family size to determine eligibility.
To be eligible for Magi Medicaid, individuals and families must meet certain income guidelines based on their income, family size, and the number of dependents they have. Magi Medicaid covers a range of services, including doctor visits, hospital stays, preventive care, and prescription drugs.
Magi Medicaid is administered by the Ohio Department of Medicaid (ODM), which provides information and assistance to individuals and families applying for coverage. The ODM offers a hotline and website where people can get help with the application process and learn more about the program.
Eligibility for Magi Medicaid changes on a daily basis depending on the latest Federal Poverty Guidelines issued by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
In 2023, the income guidelines for Magi Medicaid in Ohio were updated to reflect changes in the poverty levels for the previous year. The guidelines are set around three categories: parents and caregivers, expansion adults, children with insurance, pregnant women, and children without insurance.
