As the owner of a Partnership insurance policy, am I able to receive care in any nursing home facility in New York State? Do all nursing facilities in New York accept Medicaid?
As a reminder, your insurance contract entitles you to use your private insurance benefits anywhere your contract permits, whether in New York State or elsewhere. That being said, it is important for you to know that a small number of nursing facilities in New York State do not accept Medicaid. These facilities accept only Medicare reimbursement and/or private payments, including private insurance. Consequently, while Partnership program participants may receive care in these facilities as Medicare/private-pay/private-insurance patients, Medicaid Extended Coverage will not be accepted as reimbursement for services in one of these facilities after the Partnership private insurance coverage period ends. Therefore, it is important for Partnership program participants to be knowledgeable about such circumstances when choosing nursing facilities. In order to make an informed decision about your care setting it is recommended that you know beforehand which methods of payment and/or reimburse
