Persons who qualify for TANF or AABD cash automatically qualify for medical benefits.
Persons on most HFS medical programs receive an HFS medical card. The HFS medical card lists each eligible person. When someone needs medical service, they show the medical card to the doctor, hospital, drug store, clinic, etc. A medical provider who is approved to participate in the medical program has agreed to accept payment from HFS and send the bill to HFS.
