What Determines If Medicaid Will Pay For My Nursing Home Care?


If you satisfy the criteria of being a U.S. citizen or eligible alien, a resident of Florida, and at least 65 years old or disabled, then your eligibility for Medicaid will be assessed based on your income and resources (assets). Income comprises various sources such as wages, benefits from Social Security, pension, and Veteran’s benefits. Resources entail items including, but not limited to, bank accounts, stocks, bonds, trusts, annuities, property, and life insurance. The parameters for income, assets, and the permissible amount to remain eligible for Medicaid are defined by applicable laws.
Furthermore, an evaluation will be conducted to determine whether the healthcare services offered by the facility are necessary for you.
