Mississippi Medicaid Replacement Card: How to Obtain a New Card

Medicaid is a health care program administered at the federal level but implemented and managed at the state level. The program helps low-income people and families in Mississippi and other states pay for quality medical care. Medicaid funds are distributed directly to health care providers through a claim-filing process. If you live in Mississippi and you need to obtain a Medicaid replacement card, here is what you need to do.
