How to Cancel Medicaid Coverage

Medicaid is a medical program offered by the government to individuals and families who fall into certain categories. These individuals meet eligibility requirements to qualify for this benefit. Low-income families, children, pregnant women and individuals with disabilities are a few examples of people who would normally qualify for this benefit. In the event you wish to cancel your Medicaid because you no longer need government assistance, you must do so through your local Social Services Department or Department of Human Services.
