There are three parts to the Medicare plan. Each covers different medical expenses.
Medicare provides for 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, but these 100 days are not guaranteed.
Medicare Part A covers the room and board in a skilled nursing facility. The first 20 days used are covered at 100 %. The remaining 80 days are subject to a coinsurance, to be paid by the Medicare recipient. This coinsurance amount changes at the beginning of each year.
While in a skilled nursing facility Medicare part B covers physician visits, therapy, and certain supplies and equipment.
For more information go to www.medicare.gov.
New Jersey Medicaid covers persons who are 65 years or older, and persons determined to be disabled by the Social Security Administration or by the Division of Medical Assistance and Health Services. The individual must be a resident of NJ and a US citizen or lawfully admitted for permanent residence.
In order to qualify for Medicaid benefits for payment of all or a portion of your nursing facility care, you must meet certain financial criteria. Financial eligibility for Medicaid is determined by reviewing your income and your resources.
In most cases, you will meet the standard for eligibility for Medicaid when your countable resources do not exceed $2,000.
If you have transferred resources in the last 36 months (60 months if such resources were transferred into a trust), you may be ineligible for Medicaid for long term care services for a period of time.
When a Medicaid-eligible applicant wishes to be admitted to a nursing facility, he/she must certified as appropriate for nursing home level of care by the Long Term Care Field Office (LTCFO). The prospective resident must be screened by a Long Term Care field nurse. This Pre-Admission Screen (PAS) must be done before a person can be admitted to the nursing home.
PAS is usually done at home, but could be done in a hospital, assisted living or other nursing home. If the prospective resident is in a private home or assisted living facility, the field nurse will come out to complete the screening with 7-10 days. When the PAS is complete, the nurse will generate a report certifying the appropriate level of care and duration. This report must be furnished to the nursing home prior to admission.
To obtain a Pre-Admission Screen (PAS), please contact the Regional Long term Care Field Office at (973) 648-4691.
