[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my state (NY), a long-term resident can be covered by Medicaid (at facilities that accept it and have an open Medicaid-designated bed) if their total assets are less than $14k. If it's more, the patient is private pay until they get below that threshold, and then they can apply for Medicaid. I think you should Google this for your state.[/quote] Yes, I believe different states have different thresholds. Basically, the resident pays out of pocket until they reach a threshold, then they apply for Medicaid. It doesn't take very long to process and approve Medicaid, and it pays retroactively if necessary. The nursing home social worker can assist with the Medicaid application. [/quote]
