What Is Medicaid Estate Recovery?
The Medicaid Estate Recovery is a program where state agencies seek repayment for Medicaid benefits paid on behalf of an individual, usually after the Medicaid recipient's death.
Recovery focuses on services provided, especially long-term care costs such as nursing home care, home health services, and hospital stays.
