What does Medicaid pay for?
Medicaid can cover nursing visits 100% on a limited annual basis for those who qualify, and a doctor must order these visits. In addition, Medicaid can also pay for personal care and homemaker services when the State Division of Senior Services authorizes them through Oxford. These services can be provided on an ongoing basis as long as the individual continues to meet the state program guidelines. The State Medicaid Program also covers many services for children, including shifts for extended hours of time. Under a program called Consumer Directed Services, Medicaid covers self-directed care for disabled individuals, and Oxford provides administrative services to support the consumer as the employer.
