Medicare supplemental insurance vs medicare-medicaid "Medi-medi" My elderly mother has medicare and a supplemental insurance that cost her $220 a month. She has no assets and only draws $1200 in Social Security. She has no other source of income. We are at the point that she needs to go to a personal care home. Should she continue to pay for the supplemental insurance or go full medicaid? Thanks in advance for any info.
What I am trying to figure out at this point is does it make sense to keep the supplement since she is eligible for medicaid too. Is she just throwing her $220 per month away or is it covering something that medicaid won't?
