Medicaid coverage in nursing home?

Does anyone know if Medicaid pays for PT and OT while in a nursing home ?


I have received conflicting information on this issue and would appreciate help.


Thanks

Patient is in IL. - Needs rehabilitation Therapy ,, NOT basic movement of legs and arms they refer to as PT .

Is it supposed to be for Rehab or is the person in long term care?
We were told all long term residents receive therapy, but it’s just a very, very basic thing & not at all like rehab therapy.

State specific answer, like many things with Medicaid

medicaid will pay for physical therapy in a nursing home. Occupational therapy will depend on your state and whether or not they have chosen to cover it.
