Medically Indigent Adult

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Medically indigent adults (MIAs) are persons who do not have health insurance and who are not eligible for other health care coverage, such as Medicaid, Medicare, or private health insurance.

Government MIA programs at the state or county level help MIAs access medical care by paying for all or part of the cost of their medical care.

Such programs are typically of "last resort", and are available only to those who meet the County's "last resort" socioeconomic eligibility standards
