MEDICAID
Three requirements for Medicaid coverage are to be in a
Medicaid certified (vendor) bed (which are offered at our facility), have
assets of less than $1,000, and meet the state level of care medical
requirements. You may be able to keep your home and have life insurance
policies or prepaid burial plans with total cash surrender values less than
$1,500 or an irrevocable preneed burial contract. For married couples,
the spouse who remains at home will be able to keep some assets above the
$1,000 limit. A division of assets is used by Medicaid to help prevent
the spouse remaining at home from being impoverished due to the cost of nursing
home care. The spouse remaining at home may also qualify to receive part
or all of the nursing home resident's monthly income. Medicaid can be
applied for by contacting the local Division of Family Services Office at (573)
783-5596.
MEDICARE
To receive Skilled Nursing Medicare benefits in a long-term
care facility, you must have been hospitalized for at least 4 consecutive days
within the past 30 days. In addition, you must also require 24-hour
skilled nursing care or full-time therapy services.
Medicare will cover the total cost of the first 20 days of your
long-term care facility stay, except for any charges that Medicare does not
allow (for example, telephone charges and laundry fees). On the 21st day,
you will have a Medicare co-pay. For 2008, the per day co-pay amount is
approximately $128. If you have a supplemental insurance, these
additional costs may be covered. The maximum number of skilled nursing
care days covered by Medicare may be up to 100 days per benefit period.
No benefits are available after 100 days of care in a "benefit
period".
If the long-term care facility determines you no longer require
skilled nursing care, then you no longer qualify for Medicare Skilled Nursing
coverage. A "Denial Letter" must be issued to you by the
facility stating the decision. If you disagree with the decision, you may
appeal by calling 1-800-347-1016.
For more information on Medicare coverage and your rights, call
Medicare at 1-800-390-3330.
