Everyone is potentially eligible for emergency Medicaid as long as they meet the income and North Carolina state residence eligibility requirements (provide proof they live in North Carolina, such as photo ID with your address, a utility bill, a lease or documentation of employment). Undocumented non-U.S. citizens who do not qualify for full health coverage under Medicaid may be able to get coverage for emergency medical services. North Carolina has a state emergency medical review contractor who determines if the incident is a medical emergency and determines the dates that Medicaid could cover. The coverage is limited to certain dates, beginning with the date the medical emergency occurs and ending with the date the medical emergency is stabilized. For example, when someone is in a car accident and taken to the emergency room or women who give birth and do not have insurance.
