Does Medicaid coverage eliminate the need for supplemental and prescription coverage?

In this state, Medicaid recipients must select from a list of approved insurance carriers.

I'd suggest you contact the supplemental insurance to see how they view Medicaid. My mom had a Federal Employee HIB secondary insurance policy - it was excellent, paid whatever of what Medicare didn't and paid 100% if Medicare didn't pay. Once mom was in a NH and on Medicaid, it got suspended and they did a clawback of all vendor payments made during her Medicaid Pending period @ the NH.It's never simple.

As far as I know, you have to continue paying supplemental health insurance which would come out of her social security income. The amount would be set by medicaid, along with contribution to nursing home. The patient is allowed to keep about $72.00 per month. Medicaid would supply all this information to you. Hope this helps. Take care.

Have you discussed this with the financial people at her facility?

You'll have to check with medicaid in your state. The one based on income you don't have to pay anything. As for the medical condition AND income I am not familiar with. Maybe someone else on here knows.
