Straight Medicaid

English to Spanish Medical Medical: Health Care Medical Insurance
This is for the translation of a document for low income patients of the hospital where I work. The document includes low cost and free resources in the community, including clinics, food pantries, etc.

My understanding of straight medicaid is that the patient has to pay a deductible before they get any coverage, but I haven't found a good translation.

Thanks in advance for your help!

"Medicaid is the federal health insurance program that provides coverage to low-income individuals who meet the eligibility criteria. If you are a Michigan resident who meets the citizenship, income and asset requirements, you may be eligible for **straight Medicaid, which is Medicaid coverage without an HMO plan**. An HMO is typically used to expand Medicaid coverage"

el Medicaid en sí

It seems to me that they're using the term "Straight Medicaid" to mean "proper" or "regular" to contrast with some other variation of the program?

Medicaid regular

Efectivamente, es "Medicaid regular". Fijate en este link:http://www.informationforfamilies.org/Theres_No_Place_Like_H...

If you are homeless and have Straight Medicaid (also known as ***“regular” Medicaid***), your Medicaid will be changing soon.

En mi opinión, sin embargo, dejaría "Straight Medicaid" en inglés (lo encontré así en documentos en español, por ejemplo en: http://callen-lorde.org/graphics/2013/04/Complete-Spanish-Pa... y aclararía entre paréntesis que se refiere a "Medicaid regular".

Saludos!

soló Medicaid

Medicaid is a type of insurance in the US. The state provide medical coverage for low income persons for free, but Medicaid beneficiaries can choose to associate with HMOs which in theory will expand their coverage. Straight Medicare refers to just Medicare without other types of medical coverage.
