Dealing with Medicaid is no easy matter.
First, you should know the difference between Medicare
and Medicaid. Medicare is public health insurance, enjoyed
by many, that pays for basic health, including doctor's
visits. Medicare only pays for long-term care for a very
limited time period. Medicaid, on the other hand, can pay
for long-term nursing home care, but requires beneficiaries
to qualify income, resource and medically.
Placing a loved one in a nursing facility or planning for
a loved one's placement in a nursing facility is a difficult
and stressful experience. Many families mistakenly believe
that their loved one has long term care coverage under Medicare.
They are shocked to learn that Medicare will pay for short
term care only in specific circumstances. Long term care
for nursing home can cost between $3,000 and $5,000 a month.
Few families can afford this huge expense and many families
look to Medicaid for financial assistance.
North Carolina Medicaid is a maze of confusing rules and
regulations. Having a North Carolina Medicaid lawyer who
is knowledgeable of the eligibility requirements and qualification
techniques can make a nightmare situation manageable.
