Medicare Buy- In Expense Records

It is important for Medical Staff to remember that Medicare Expense records are shared between Medical and Non-Medical cases. When processing applications Medical Staff should not set up the Buy-In record if the case is going to be pended for verifications. These Medicare Expense records show as State Pay, which results in the Non-Medical case using that money as available income. This will lower the amount of Food Assistance a consumer may be eligible to receive.

 

For this reason Medical staff should no longer be adding the Buy-In record until the final determination is made for the medical case.

Retention Services as a Need Type:
