Faces of ND Medicaid - Sandy's Story

Sandy doesn’t let her disability define her. After college graduation, Sandy worked as an intensive care unit nurse for seven years and enjoyed a 26-year career as a long-term care nurse. Sandy had private insurance through her employers. A farming accident left Sandy disabled, which required long-term care. She was unable to continue her career as a nurse resulting in a loss of income and private insurance.

Sandy became eligible for ND Medicaid and was able to receive long-term care benefits along with medical, pharmacy and dental coverage. Sandy wants others to know that she does not take ND Medicaid for granted. Now, she does not have to worry about where money will come from to pay for her medical expenses.
