24.03 Determining maximum patient share

To determine the maximum patient share, the individual’s gross income less allowable deductions as specified in § 24.04 is considered. This is the most that an individual receiving Medicaid coverage of long-term care services and supports is obliged to pay toward the cost of their long-term care services and supports. If an individual was in long- term care for less than a full month, the maximum patient share is multiplied by the applicable percentage in the table set forth in § 24.02.
