[WSBAPT] How to find out about possible Medicaid payments?

[Chris Moore]

I agree with the IRS, but since Medicaid is run by the state, I have not
had a problem using the state’s statute of limitations to block any
collections for Medicaid.



Sincerely,

2-year bar doesn't work against Medicaid and IRS, unfortunately. The Feds
make their own rules.

Does it really make a difference?  Hasn’t the Statute of Limitations run on
the estate?  No way to inquire anonymously as the person’s name and SSN
must be provided to get a print out of payments.

Haven't run across this before--client's mother died about 4 years ago. No
probate. For various confidential reasons, he's evaluating whether his
mother's estate might owe a reimbursement to Medicaid--but he doesn't know
if his mother ever even received Medicaid benefits.



How does one find out? Does Medicaid typically send a statement of benefits
to the recipient? He's received all his mother's mail and never seen
anything indicating Medicaid involvement.



Note--not talking about Medicare, which doesn't get reimbursed--just
Medicaid.



Thanks all, as always, for collective wisdoms.



Sincerely,



Eric
