Excess resources and medical institutions

ACES will compare the individual's income plus excess resources to the cost of care

In a full calendar month it will use the state daily rate x 30.42

In a partial month, it will use the state daily rate x the actual number of days

If the income plus the remaining excess resources is not more than the cost of care, the case will open and assign the excess.

If the income plus remaining excess resources is more than the cost of care, the case will deny.

Income only determines CN versus MN. Excess resources do not affect the scope of care the individual is eligible to receive.

If excess resources causes a case to go into L99 spenddown, the case needs to be denied.
