As part of any adoption, you must negotiate an adoption agreement, which would include the onetime reimburseable expenses (travel, legal fees, etc), a daily/monthly stipend, and medical insurance (medicaid). So once adopted, if it is part of the adoption agreement, then yes, the child would have medicaid until age 18.
Prior to the adoption, during the preadoptive placement stage, the child would have medicaid insurance because they are legally on the state's books. ICPC is completed as part of the placement process, which would outline which state's medicaid insurance will be utilized and what that entails/means, as well as other services the receiving state (your state) will do on behalf of the sending state (the state the child is in now).
Hope that makes sense!
Good luck!!!
