Dual Eligible

Dual Eligible beneficiary is a general term referring to an individual eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid. The term includes those enrolled in Medicare Part A and/or Part B, who also receive financial assistance from their state Medicaid program.

These benefits include, but are not limited to:

• Dental coverage
• Vision services, including glasses or contact lenses
• Hearing services
• Routine transportation to and from medical providers
• Credit to order over-the-counter supplies from a catalog
