How to Check Your Pending Ohio Medicaid Number

Checking the status of your Medicaid number is important. Medicaid is a partially government funded health care program for individuals that have low or no income. Individuals must meet Ohio requirements, which includes providing proof of income and assets, being a U.S citizen and having adequate residency in Ohio. Medicaid pays most, if not all, of approved medical expenses. Having a valid Medicaid number is your proof of participation in the program. Without it, you may be turned down for treatment.
