Ohio’s
Disability Medical Assistance Program (DMA) is designed
to provide medical assistance to individuals who are medication
dependent and not eligible for Medicaid.
Medication dependent means a licensed physician has certified
that the individual has a chronic medical condition that
requires continuous medication for a long term, indefinite
period of time. An individual may be eligible for DMA if
they:
-are
not eligible for Medicaid
-are deemed medication dependent by a licensed physician
-meet the DMA income and resource limits
-are an Ohio resident
-meet the Medicaid U.S. citizenship requirement
We also
have staff on board who can help you with your Social Security
or SSI claim.
**Please
note that currently there is a freeze on DMA enrollment
in order to stay within budgetary limits on program spending.
