In her latest Warner <em>Medicaid Moments</em> vlog, attorney Catherine Jacobs explains how Medicaid calculates the amounts single and married patients pay for long-term care while living in a skilled nursing facility.

core/paragraph

Catherine notes the calculation for the patient pay amount is straightforward for single individuals – it’s their income minus $60. However, the calculation for married couples is more complex. Medicaid uses a formula that considers the income and living expenses of the spouse still living at home to ensure they remain financially stable.

This protection is especially important for couples where the spouse in care is the primary earner. Catherine breaks down these provisions, which can bring peace of mind to a spouse who’s worried about their loved one entering a skilled nursing facility.

Watch the video below to learn more about how Medicaid can help ease the financial burden of long-term skilled nursing care. Stay tuned for future Warner <em>Medicaid Moment</em> vlogs.
