The Mississippi Division of Medicaid, a government agency under the Office of the Governor, administers Mississippi's Medicaid program. It provides health coverage for eligible, low-income populations, including children, families, pregnant women, the aged, and the disabled. Beneficiaries do not receive direct cash benefits; health services are reimbursed to enrolled providers. The program operates within federal guidelines and is jointly funded by state and federal dollars, with the federal match determined by the Federal Medical Assistance Percentage. The FMAP is calculated and published annually by the Secretary of Health and Human Services as required by the Social Security Act. Based in Jackson, Mississippi, the division maintains a central office alongside regional offices and outstations to support statewide access to coverage, reflecting its statewide scope since its founding in 1969.
