No, applying for Medicaid will not disqualify you. While the application is pending, or if the application is denied, you will remain our patient.

Matthew 25 is a charitable health center. This means that all services and medications provided by Matthew 25 are at no cost to the patient. We do not submit insurance claims and we do not receive any government money to operate. To help cover some of the cost of care, we invite patients to donate $5.00 for each medical visit and $10.00 for each dental visit. However, this is a freewill offering only. No qualifying patient will be turned away for his or her inability to contribute.
As a part of every medical appointment, if medications are prescribed, they will be distributed to you at the Med Room window. You will receive your PAP medications there.
In addition to our medical and dental clinics, Matthew 25 also offers vision and hearing services, as well as more than 20 specialty clinics.
If the PAP provider has given you refills on a medication, then call the medication refill line, 469-0232, 5 business days before you need to pick up your medication, so they can have it ready for you when you come in. If someone else is picking up your medication, please send a note with them giving them your permission.
