How to get services in Grand Forks County

Most long-term supports are paid for by Medicaid, often through a waiver program. Start with Medicaid, then get on the program that fits. Where a program uses local offices, the office for Grand Forks County is shown.

Start here North Dakota Medicaid · North Dakota Health and Human Services (HHS), Medical Services Division

Apply online (opens in a new tab) · Call 1-866-614-6005 or 701-328-1000 (HHS Customer Support Center); TTY 711 · Your local Human Service Zone office.

North Dakota is a 209(b) state, so getting SSI does not give you Medicaid automatically; you must file a separate Medicaid application with HHS.

People who are aged, blind or have a disability can qualify under separate income and asset rules, and a spend-down may apply if income is too high. The 1915(i) program adds behavioral health supports for Medicaid members who qualify.

For children: Children with Disabilities coverage: lets some children with disabilities get Medicaid with a premium when family income is too high for regular Medicaid.

If you work: Workers with Disabilities coverage: lets employed people ages 16 to 65 with disabilities buy into Medicaid. There is a one-time $100 enrollment fee and a monthly premium of 5 percent of gross countable income.

Steps

  1. Apply online through the HHS Apply for Help page or the Self-Service Portal.
  2. Or call the Customer Support Center or visit your Human Service Zone office for a paper application.
  3. If you get SSI, still file a Medicaid application, because it is not automatic in North Dakota.
  4. Send proof of income, assets and disability when asked.
  5. Read your decision letter and report changes within the time it lists.

Have these ready

  • Social Security numbers
  • Proof of income and benefit letters (SSI or SSDI)
  • Bank and asset statements
  • Proof of North Dakota address
  • Disability or medical records
  • Other health insurance cards
