Medical Assistants
The costs for employing any of the following are allowable medical expenses:
● Attendant
● Dependent care service
● Homemaker
● Home health aide
● Housekeeper
● Nurse
When the participant provides two or more of the assistant's daily meals, an amount equal to the maximum NA allotment for a one-person budgetary unit is allowable. (See Thrifty Food Plan for the amount.)
When the budgetary unit has assistance care costs that could qualify as either a medical or a dependent care expense, the cost is allowed as a medical expense.
