Medicaid Spend Down

By on October 16, 2012 in Health and Medical, Medicaid, Resources

Answer:

My understanding of the process is that all receipts (paid & unpaid) should be turned in to DHS monthly. DHS will decide when their deductible/spend down is met.  Also, it is up to the medical facility to bill the members insurance and once that is done, hopefully Medicaid will pay that bill. Lindsey, always feel free to contact the DHS Specialist if you have’nt done that. I hope this helps!

Take care,

Adrienne E. Smith

Question:

I remember in one of our meetings it was mentioned that as soon as a person has a medical expense(even unpaid) that meets their deductible they should provide the information to DHS. Does this mean that DHS will cover the medical expense or does the person still need to pay it? Ex. Member is billed for a surgery which meets the deductible and contacts DHS. Now does the member have to pay that bill or will DHS cover it?

Thanks,

Lindsay Kohler
