Re: Medicaid question: I need answer to question

[Guest guest]

Jan, are you thinking of the PACE program, which is

administered through Hospice and paid for by Medicare?

They do essentially the same thing as Hospice, but

people can be younger than 65 to get it.

If a person is already on Medicaid, I don't know if

they pay for the cost or not.

Otherwise, most of the offices for aging in a city/

town have programs for people on Medicaid--in-home

care a few times a week for a few hours a day.

Medicaid question: I need answer to question

Hi,

It's one of those times that I didn't copy, because I was too much in a hurry

and now I need the answer and can't find it. Someone here mentioned that

Medicaid has an in- home care service and now I can't remember the name of it

and need to know it. It has been on here several times and not once have I

copied it thinking I can't use it now that Jim is in a nh, but I would like to

ask Medicaid some questions about it. Thanks if you have the answer for

me................Jan C.

Thanks June! Oh, it's Medicare related I thought it was Medicaid. If it's

connected with Hospice is it Palliative (sp?) care? Thanks for answering

quickly. Is it Medicaid-in-home care? I'm confused now. I am filling out the

annual reevaluation form for Jim to remain qualified with Medicaid and it asks

if I have any questions they will contact me and I wanted to ask about the PACE

Program. Maybe I would take Jim out of the nh and bring him home and have him on

PACE. Depending on what they say.

Welcome to LBDcaregivers.

I don't think it's pallative care unless they are at

that point. Because they take people at a younger

age, I would think it wouldn't be. If you type in

P.A.C.E. in your search engine, it should take you to

the site. Be sure to use the periods, as there are

lots of things called PACE. From what I understand,

it is a Medicare program, but possibly, if the person

is already on Medicaid, perhaps they might be

responsible. But, I doubt it, because you don't have

to pay anything for it like you do at the NH.

Be sure there is a P.A.C.E. program in your area, as

there aren't too many in the U.S. I think less than

50, and surprisingly, Kansas has two of those--Wichita

and Topeka. Kansas City, KS and MO neither one has

one. The site will tell you where the programs are

located. I think, also, that put something

in the files about it, too.

Medicare kind of keeps this program quiet, I suppose

because of the cost to them.

Hi Jan,

I'd be happy to tell you what I know about Medicaid. First, to be

eligible, earned income needs to be less than $1,359 per month. That's the

most important criteria. If this is the case, the person then cannot have

more than about $3,000 (I forgot this exact amount, but can get it for you

if you need it) in total assets. Know that all money can be moved out of

his/her name. There is no look-back period for Medicaid HOME care. A

large (but not difficult) application needs to be filled out and brought to

your local Department of Social Services with all pertinent documents.

(Again, I can elaborate on this if need be.) If the person is eligible,

DSS will open the case and have a nurse come out to evaluate and determine

how many hours of home care they will provide. Please let me know if you

need more specific information right now. I'd be glad to help you with the

application if it comes to that.

Jan, FYI: Hospice at home is given through Medicare (not Medicaid).
