How can I get financial help for residial bills after Medicaid spend down when family is unable to contribute?
RESIDUAL BILLS INCLUDE MEDICAL THAT EXCEED OR NOT COVERED BY MEDICARE/MEDICAID. EXAMPLES ARE TRANSPORT TO AND FROM HOSPITAL AND DOCTOR,S OFFICE BY MEDICAL TRANSPORTION. AND PERSONAL CARE ITEMS,
Typically, nursing homes use all of the income a resident receives with the exception of a small amount designed to cover personal care items, hair care, etc. Is that money available? As to the transport, speak with the social worker at the nursing home. I'd be surprised if they aren't covered. AND most nursing homes have the doctors come to the facility. Isn't that happening at your loved one's place?
