|
|  Do I know the location of the Medicaid office where the application must be filed?
Am I familiar with all of the documentation that must accompany the filing of a Medicaid Application?
Am I familiar with the Medicaid laws regarding spend down and do I have sufficient documentation to prove that the spend down in this case was proper?
|
Am I familiar with the Medicaid law regarding transfers of assets?
Do I have sufficient documentation to support the fact that the transfer of assets were property done?
Do I have the 20-40 hours that it is estimated that preparing and filing a Medicaid Application will take?
If the Medicaid eligibility worker asks questions, do I understand the process sufficiently to give the answers, which will not hurt me or the Medicaid Applicant?
Do I know what pre-admission screening is and how it applies to filing a Medicaid application?
If the Medicaid Application is rejected, am I familiar with the rules for filing for a Fair Hearing?
If the Medicaid Application is not rejected but not approved, am I familiar with my rights and the procedures for obtaining prompt action?
Do I know how to deal with the nursing home or other facility while they are not being paid during the pendency of the Medicaid Application and do I know how much I must pay them every month until Medicaid is approved?
