Does the Medicaid waiver still pay the caregiver while the patient is in the hospital or rehab?

Not in Pa. As soon as they go to the hospital you have to call in and let them know.so they can stop paying you, until they come back home.

No.

I too doubt it. No work, no pay. If you were paying an aide to care for him daily, would you want to pay them if husband was inbthe hospital for weeks? If so, it maybe because u don't want to lose them.

I doubt it. I am sure you are more busy now running back and forth, keeping eyes on him, maintaining the house, etc. However I'd be very surprised if Medicaid pays for you sitting at his bedside and keeping the house. He is being taken care of by the hospital as far as Medicaid is concerned.

ask his Medicaid caseworker.
