11. What costs associated with nursing home care will Medicaid cover?
Medicaid has limited resources to pay for long-term care since those receiving long-term care through Medicaid are competing for funds with other Medicaid recipients receiving other types of services. There are strict waiting periods between asset transfer and application for benefits and to become eligible you have to spend down assets to government required levels. In most states reimbursement is only available for care received in Medicare/Medicaid approved facilities.
