My father was off Medicaid as of March 1 because he inherited money from my mother from the sale of their house. He needs to private pay for 4 months until he is eligible again.
The nursing home billed us for the last four days in February even though his rejection letter says effective 3/1.
Has anyone experienced something like this and can they provide a reason?
Of course I am working with someone in billing to figure this out, but if anyone might know of a reason for this, I’d love to know.
The only explanation the Medicaid administrator at his NH could give me was this is how we do things. Frankly, that is not good enough.
I hate dealing with this crap.
You say “ billed us”.
I am guessing that at some point a billing address was given that was not your parents’ address. I say this because I know your Dad is in NY. It’s a long story why I am guessing this .
Another guess is if you or a sibling signed as guarantor .
I have no idea what the truth is, but I feel your pain.
Wishing you luck on getting it straightened out.
