<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
