On medicaid they say I qualify for a buy in under QMB .The state is paying my buy in but medicare sends me the bills and insist that Medicaid is not paying. I have been trying to straiten this out for 18 months now .medicare blames social security , social security blames medicaid , medicaid blames social security. Now I am told the Dept. of buy-ins is the only ones that can fix the problem. Is there such a Dept? How could I contact them?
You may receive Medicaid regardless of your Social Security status.
Varies by state; check with your state's medicaid or social services division.
Though social security is federal, Medicaid is state funded. You may want to call Medicaid and ask if you will be covered while traveling out of state.
If you are applying for Medicaid on the basis of disability and you are not already receiving Social Security disability (RSDI or SSI), you might want to hire an attorney who specializes in Social Security disability. (Medicaid follows the Social Security rules for disability.)
IRA's are not an eligibility factor for Social Security or Medicare. However, they are considered an asset for Medicaid.
There is no such thing as Medicaid Part A. Title XIX of the Social Security Act is the title that governs medical care.
"Entitlement Programs."
Social Security
Social Security benefits (retirement and disability) count as income for Medicaid. However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as income for Medicaid.
One major problem in society is inequality, where there is unequal access to resources, opportunities, and rights among different groups. This can lead to social unrest, discrimination, and lack of social justice.
Some care homes can be considered social care. Care homes can opt to take part in Medicare and Medicaid funding programs. As Medicaid is generally provided to the poor, these care homes would fit under the terms of social care. But not all care homes opt into Medicare and Medicaid programs.
