CRISIS MEDICAID APPLICATIONSThis term really does imply a crisis. When an elder is entering or is already in a nursing home and payment becomes an issue, it is important to know if Medicaid will pay for the services or whether the elder must become a private-pay patient. The Medicaid rules and regulations are complicated. It is important to determine what assets are excluded and what are included for determining Medicaid eligibility. It is important to know what assets can be spent down and whether certain uses of the money will or will not affect eligibility. The Medicaid application is a detailed one; but most of the advice and counsel is done even before the actual submission. The elder's financial situation with respect to his or her rights under the Medicaid law must be correctly assessed, evaluated and dealt with to maximize the benefits to the elder and minimize the impact upon the elder consistent with our rights under the law. |
