But in Florida, eligibility for the Medically Needy Medicaid program starts over each month. This amount is related to how much your income exceeds the traditional Medicaid income limits.
The more money you make, the more your share-of-cost will be. If your household income changes, or if the number of people in your household changes, your share-of-cost will also change. You just have to owe that much. You can only use a particular medical bill one time; you cannot continue to use the same medical debt month after month to meet the share-of-cost requirements.
When Medicaid coverage begins, Medicaid pays for your healthcare expenses for the rest of that month, and it also pays the expenses used to meet your share-of-cost that month, if they were incurred on or after the date that your Medicaid coverage begins.
Medicaid now pays Cindy's medical expenses from May 4 through the end of the month. Medicaid will also pay expenses for care that Cindy receives during the rest of the month. However, Medicaid will not pay for the doctor's appointment that Cindy had on May 1, since her Medicaid coverage didn't take effect until May 4.
At all times during the month, it's important to make sure your medical providers accept Medicaid. This is true after your Medicaid coverage begins and while you're in the early phase while your medical costs are accruing towards your share-of-cost amount. As you can see in the example above, Cindy incurred a large bill from the lab on May 4. If the lab didn't accept Medicaid, she'd have been stuck with the lab bill, even though her Medicaid coverage took effect that day because she met her share-of-cost.
Your share-of-cost amount can be from providers that do or don't accept Medicaid. However, the costs on the day your share-of-cost goes over the required amount for Medicaid eligibility will only be covered by Medicaid if the providers you use that day accept Medicaid. You can use healthcare expenses that would normally be covered by Medicaid if you had Medicaid coverage.
You may use expenses from up to 90 days ago. The amount you paid for health insurance premiums not counting fixed indemnity plans can count towards your share-of-cost, and so can transportation costs by ambulance, bus, or taxi incurred for you to get to a medical facility. You can use medical expenses for anyone whose income was included in determining your Medicaid eligibility.
