Part 1 - Medical Assistance Act
§ 71-5-106. Determination of Eligibility for Medical Assistance

A person with both medicare and medicaid does not usually need other health insurance. Did you buy a medicare supplement policy after November 4, 1991? If so, you can have the insurance company put your policy and your payments on hold. The insurance company can do this for up to twenty-four (24) months while you are on medicaid. If you lose medicaid during the twenty-four-month period, you can get your policy back.
“To put your policy on hold, contact your insurance company within ninety (90) days of when you get medicaid. To get your policy back, you must tell your insurance company within ninety (90) days after you lose medicaid.”
“Did you have medicare supplement insurance that you put on hold while you had medicaid? You may be able to get your policy back if you have put it on hold less than two (2) years ago. Contact your insurance company within ninety (90) days after you lose medicaid. Tell the insurance company that you want your policy reinstated.
