I have power of attorney but that is not clearly spelled out on the specific form I signed. The home has retroactively raised the rate for care for February and refuse to credit Medicaid monies for February and March to the bill. Credit for Medicaid monies had been agreed upon and where credited to her bill for Dec and January. My sister continues to live at the assisted living home, but is now on Hospice and not expected to live for more that a few weeks. The March bill is for $5,050, the agreement I signed is for $4,500 with the understanding that Medicaid monies would be applied. The Medicaid payment for February was Approximately $500, for March it was increased to $50 a day.
No, I don't think representative means ur responsible for costs. Just the person they deal with. POA should be on file with AL. If Medicaid says payment has been received by AL deduct it. Ask Medicaid for a printout of payments and attach it. I would question the increase.
