My mom will be released from a SNF in FL. She is a legal resident of PA. She has "temporarily" resided with me, for health reasons, in FL, for years before a recent hospitalization, that required hospitalization and the present SNF. Where would she apply for Medicaid - in PA or FL? I am concerned that should I change her legal address to FL, before filing, I may run the risk of jeopardizing her Medicare supplement insurance, which lists her address in PA?
I suppose quite a bit depends on the reasons for those "" around "temporarily." If this was a polite use of the word temporarily to soothe your mother's feelings about it, that's one thing, and it wouldn't be so unusual either. But if you were intentionally withholding information that you ought to have passed to her insurer... I hope you weren't.
Any experienced caregivers with answers?
Please chime in.
