Maryland EID Program

The EID Program, administered by the Maryland Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH), provides Medical Assistance (also called Medicaid) to working Marylanders with disabilities who meet a few conditions.  Medical Assistance:
   • Covers most medical services for individuals who have no other health insurance,
   • Saves individuals with Medicare $1,000 – $12,000 a year
   • Supplements private insurance, paying for some services that the other insurance does not cover
