If your parent lives in Florida and you live in California, Medicaid Made Easy will explain what is required to apply for Medicaid, and direct you to the appropriate Medicaid office in the state where your parents live. Medicaid Made Easy specifically speaks to the patient and their families in understandable terms. Medicaid Made Easy will explain in detail how to apply and complete a Medicaid application.
