This category applies to those institutional arrangements in which Medicaid, or state only assistance where noted, can make payments on behalf of eligible individuals' care in that institution. These arrangements include Medicaid certified adult care homes (including facilities under a Denial of Payment for New Admissions penalty), hospitals, state institutions and Medicaid enrolled free-standing psychiatric hospitals. It also includes hospice care provided within an adult care home.
For residents of assisted living/residential health care facilities, independent living budgeting applies and Medicaid payment is not available unless approved through an HCBS plan (see 8200 ).
Care may be either temporary or long term as defined by 8113 below. Payment for MediKan applicants/recipients may be approved if all the requirements for the specific facility are met and the length of stay will not exceed the month of entrance and two following months.
