Nonprofit Pisgah Legal Services is here to help people in Western North Carolina enroll in Medicaid and understand their options for coverage. Pisgah Legal has spent a decade advocating for this change and is proud to help make it a reality for people in this region.

Medicaid expansion will make low-income adults ages 19-64 who have incomes up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level eligible to enroll in Medicaid. This is roughly $20,000 for a single person or $41,000 for a family of four. Coverage will be comprehensive and include services such as primary care visits, hospital stays, maternity care, vision, hearing and more.

Pisgah Legal is poised to help people start the Medicaid enrollment process as soon as expansion launches. Pisgah Legal’s certified Navigators help local people find quality, affordable health insurance plans.

Pisgah Legal’s NC Medicaid Ombudsman Program can help current Medicaid beneficiaries who are experiencing problems with their plans.
