An “Illinois Medicaid phone number” is a contact used to reach the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) for Medicaid-related inquiries or support. Medicaid, a federally and state-funded program, provides health coverage to low-income individuals and families, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities.
Medicaid plays a crucial role in ensuring access to healthcare services for millions of Americans, particularly those who face financial barriers. It covers a wide range of medical expenses, including doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription drugs, and long-term care. The establishment of Medicaid in 1965 marked a significant milestone in expanding healthcare coverage for vulnerable populations.
