medicare only pays 80% of dialysis treatments,can medicaid help with the rest?!


Question:

Answers:
Yes, Medicare B only covers 80% of your medical expenses. If you are enrolled in Medicare then you would need a Medicare Supplement policy to cover the other 20%. It is known as the "Gap" in Medicare or "MediGap".

If you are enrolled in Medicaid, then yes it will be covered. But Medicaid is an income qualifying program. In most states, your assets or monthly resources needs to be under $2000.00.

So the bottomline is -- If you're enrolled in Medicare, then the 20% will not be covered unless you have a Medicare Supplement policy. If you're enrolled in Medicaid which is administered by your state, then most likely it will be covered.

Other Answers:
yes, probably.

Medicaid programs are administered by the state, so you will have to qualify for that program by contacting your local Department of Social Services, see http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/contacts
