Study Notes
Medicaid Case Histories
- Mr. Lee: 56-year-old single carpenter injured a year ago, resulting in back pain. Unable to secure consistent work. Earning $500-$600/month. Evicted and currently homeless. Developed bronchitis, unable to afford prescription ($60). Shelter staff is trying to help, but is exploring other options before using shelter funds.
Medicaid Eligibility
-
Medicaid Eligibility in a Non-Expansion State (NES): Mr. Lee may be eligible for Medicaid. Several factors determine eligibility, including income and resource limits.
-
Income Limits: Income limits vary by family size and are tied to the federal poverty level (FPL).
- State resource limits also apply. They determine the amount of money a person or couple can have (or assets). Specific examples for 2024 (given on the document) are detailed on page 4.
-
Resource Limits: NES has specific resource limits for Medicaid eligibility (page 4). These vary for individuals and families and include assets such as bank accounts, and personal property
-
Medical Needs: Mr. Lee's medical costs and ongoing health issues need to be considered. Past medical costs may be considered assets.
-
Questions to Ask: To determine eligibility, questions about income, resources, and medical expenses must be asked. Explore eligibility under medically needy program or CHIP (Child Health Insurance Program).
Additional Cases
-
Ms. Richardson: Lives with children in public housing. Lost health insurance and now works 30 hours/week for a small business. Trying to find better-paying, higher-paying health insurance jobs but has been unsuccessful. Earning $2,900 per month in modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). Has limited savings (around $1000). Needs health insurance for herself and her children (including medications and medical needs of her children).
-
The Kent Family: Elderly couple with health problems. Husband (Clark, 73) has Alzheimer's disease, and needs nursing home care. Wife (Lois, 69) is also ill health and will likely be unable to care for him at home. Their home is paid up, but the pair are also concerned about the costs of nursing-home care. They have assets (including $250,000 in savings) and sources of income.
-
General Considerations: Questions about expanded Medicaid eligibility for Mr. Lee, Ms. Richardson, and the Kent family need to be addressed given their location in a non-expansion state (NES) and various income/resource limits.
